Napriek varovaniu , aby dala pokoj írskemu miliardárovi Roarkovi, ktorý je jedným z podozrivých v tomto prípade , sa rúti rovno do jeho náručia...

Lieutenant Eve Dallas never wavers in her search for justice. But in this gripping novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series, she’ll learn that matters of the heart are never black and white. The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects—including her own lover, Roarke. As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead...to investigate every scandalous rumor...to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous.

Comment en est-elle arrivée là ? En dix ans, Eve Dallas a toujours réussi à séparer sa carrière de sa vie privée. Ce qui n'était pas très compliqué auparavant, étant donné le néant de sa vie amoureuse, est devenu en l'espace de quelques mois une véritable gageure. D'abord, Connors. Il a tout chamboulé avec ses sourires, ses baisers, ses caresses. Il est même parvenu à fixer la date de leur mariage. Son mariage ! Comme si cela ne suffisait pas, voilà sa meilleure amie accusée d'un meurtre odieux. Et, pour couronner le tout, le passé qu'elle s'est longtemps efforcée d'oublier lui explose au visage comme une véritable bombe à retardement. Amour, culpabilité, suspicion... Et si c'était elle la coupable ? Mais Eve a promis. Elle a promis d'être fidèle à son insigne. Epouser l'un, sauver l'autre... Aujourd'hui, elle doit faire face. Au prix de son intégrité ? Peut-être...

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...

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.

So Eve and her team must get started on the legwork, interviewing everyone from dinner-party guests to professional colleagues to caterers, in a desperate race to answer some crucial questions: What does the devil look like? And where will he show up next?
