Robb's In Death novels have been praised as "Law & Order: SVU-in the future" ( Entertainment Weekly ).

Eternity in Death A seductive killer is luring in victims with a promise of the impossible-immortality. Eve Dallas must strip away the fantasy to catch the coldhearted madman. Ritual in Death Eve is plunged into the violent aftermath of a ritualistic murder-and into the mind of an alleged witness who can't remember a thing to save his life.

Random hits, thrill kills, murderers with a taste for the finer things in life – and death – are making NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas angry.

As time runs out on another innocent victim’s life, Eve’s investigation will take her into the rarified circle that her husband, Roarke, travels in – and into the perverted heart of madness….

Point de vue de l'éditeur: En ces premiers mois de l'année 2060, Craig Foster avait toute la vie devant lui. Vingt-six ans, jeune marié, enseignant au très chic Cours Sarah, rien ne le prédestinait à mourir à l'issu d'un déjeuner. Crise convulsive ? Crise d'allergie foudroyante ? Le lieutenant Eve Dallas de la Brigade criminelle penche plutôt pour un empoisonnement, ce que confirme le rapport du légiste. Le gentil professeur d'histoire aurait-il été trucidé par sa charmante épouse ? Par un collègue jaloux ? Eve commence par interroger les élèves. Y aurait-il un assassin parmi ces chères têtes blondes ? Loufoque, mais pas impossible. Eve en a vu d'autres ! C'est ce qu'elle croit...

In this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series, Lieutenant Eve Dallas must solve the murder of an actress whose final role was to die for... Lieutenant Eve Dallas is no party girl, but she’s managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating The Icove Agenda, a film based on one of her famous cases. It’s a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks as though she could be her long-lost twin. Not as unsettling, though, as seeing the actress who plays Peabody—drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the director’s luxury building. Talented but rude and widely disliked, K.T. Harris made an embarrassing scene during dinner. Now she’s at the center of a crime scene—and Eve is more than ready to get out of her high heels and strap on her holster to step into the role she was born to play: cop.

Morts suspectes et violentes ! Difficile pour le lieutenant Eve Dallas de faire un autre constat. En l'espace de quelques jours, un informaticien se pend, un avocat s'ouvre les veines, et une jolie femme se jette du haut d'un immeuble. Tous trois étaient riches, célèbres, enviés... Pourquoi se sont-ils donné la mort ? A priori, il n'y a aucun lien entre ces suicides, mais Eve est convaincue qu'il s'agit bien de meurtres, de l'œuvre obscure d'un esprit dévoyé et machiavélique. N'a-t-on pas trouvé une minuscule brûlure parfaitement identique sur chaque cadavre ? Etrange... D'autant plus étrange que l'enquête mène inexorablement vers Connors, l'énigmatique milliardaire au passé si trouble. L'homme qui a su conquérir son cœur. Son époux ! Eve est atterrée...

Seconds after partaking of wine during a Catholic funeral mass, Father Miguel Flores is dead on the altar. Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained enough potassium cyanide to kill a rhino. And though the East Harlem neighborhood is a long way from the stone mansion she shares with her billionaire husband Roarke, it’s the holiness flying around St. Christobal’s that makes her uneasy. The autopsy reveals faint scars of knife wounds, a removed tattoo—and evidence of plastic surgery suggesting “Father Flores” may not be the man his parishioners thought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that suggest identity theft, gang connections, and a deeply personal act of revenge, she hopes to track down whoever committed this unholy act. Until a second murder—in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers—knocks the whole investigation sideways…
