THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES . . .
The chilling suspense novel from the author of Brotherhood in Death.
After a party in New York, Lieutenant Eve Dallas rides home with her billionaire husband, Roarke, happy to be done with cocktails and small talk.
After another party, not far away, a woman retires to her bedroom with her husband—and walks into a brutal nightmare.
Their paths are about to collide…
When the young woman—dazed, naked, and bloody—wanders in front of their car, Roarke slams on the brakes just in time, and Eve, still in glittering gown and heels, springs into action. It’s been a long night for the tired homicide cop, and it’s far from over.
Daphne Strazza is rushed to the ER, but it’s too late for Dr. Anthony Strazza. A brilliant orthopedic surgeon, he now lies dead amid the wreckage of his obsessively organized town house, his three safes opened and emptied. Daphne would be a valuable witness, but in her terror and shock the only description of the perp she can offer is repeatedly calling him “the devil” . . .
While it emerges that Dr. Strazza was cold, controlling, and widely disliked—and that he treated Daphne like a trophy wife—this is one case where the evidence doesn’t point to the spouse as the first suspect. 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?
As always a pleasure to read The storyline is not a fast paced action packed journey, but it is deep and meaningful. The horrors committed by the villain are nightmarish, but as always, Eve and her team, including Roark, handle it quickly. I love the interplay between Eve and Roark. 44 books in and I’m still completely happy with the series.
The best yet There are series that haunt you, that crawl inside you and cannot be ignored. Dallas and Roarke are part of my mind. The mysteries are compelling, the dialogue snappy, the pacing perfect and the passion, off the charts. But, most of all, the characters are human… real, flawed, human in a way that connects.
No where near stale or predictable at 44! I will admit I am biased. I am a huge fan of J. D. Robb and the In Death series. I have read and ‘re-read each book and listened to and ‘re-listened to each audio book in this series and I’m still not tired or bored. This latest offering doesn’t disappoint. The nature of these crimes are for me difficult for me to digest but the overall story is very engaging. I also love seeing Eve and Roarke`s relationship evolve, and grow and this book offers that as well. Only negative is no Mavis nor…
