Homicide detective Eve Dallas must untangle a twisted family history while a hostage’s life hangs in the balance—in the new In Death novel by New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb.The woman’s body was found in the early morning, on a bench in a New York City playground. She was clean, her hair neatly arranged, her makeup carefully applied. But other things were very wrong—like the tattoo and piercings, clearly new. The clothes, decades out of date. The fatal wound hidden beneath a ribbon around her neck. And the note: Bad Mommy, written in crayon as if by a child.Eve Dallas turns to the department’s top profiler, who confirms what seems obvious to Eve: They’re dealing with a killer whose childhood involved some sort of trauma—a situation Eve is all too familiar with herself. Yet the clues suggest a perpetrator who’d be roughly sixty years old, and there are no records of old crimes with a similar MO. What was the trigger that apparently reopened such an old wound and sent someone over the edge?When Eve discovers that other young women—who physically resemble the first victim—have vanished, the clock starts ticking louder. But to solve this case she will need to find her way into a hidden place of dim light and concrete, into the distant past, and into the cold depths of a shattered mind.

De doden waren haar werk. Ze leefde met ze, werkte met ze, bestudeerde ze. Ze droomde zelfs van ze. Ze vond moord niet meer schokkend, maar nog steeds walgelijk. Het eerste slachtoffer wordt op de stoep gevonden, in de stromende regen. Het tweede slachtoffer ligt in de tuin van het gebouw waar ze woonde. Inspecteur Eve Dallas ziet genoeg overeenkomsten. Zo waren beide slachtoffers mooie en zeer succesvolle vrouwen - hun glamoureuze bestaan en hun liefdesleven hielden de hele stad bezig. De relaties die ze hadden met de machtigste en rijkste mannen van New York bieden Eve een lange lijst met verdachten - onder wie haar eigen geliefde, Roarke.

But nothing prepares her for what she discovers upon her return to the cop shop in New York City....

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…

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...

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...
