Product Description
Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still a place of many cultures and great divides. And as ever, some murders receive more attention than others - especially those in which the victim is a prominent businessman, found in his Park Avenue apartment, tied to the bed - and strangled - with cords of black velvet.brbrIt doesn t surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anders s scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation for the public - and humiliation for his family. While everyone else in the city is talking about it, those close to Anders aren t so anxious to do so. Fortunately, because Dallas s billionaire husband, Roarke, happens to own the prime real estate where Anders s sporting-goods firm was headquartered, she has some help with access. Before long, she s knocking on doors - or barging through them - to look for the answers she needs.brbrBut the facts don t add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn t struggle. The security breach in the highly fortified apartment indicates that the killer was someone close to Anders, but everyone s alibi checks out, from the wife who was off in the tropics to the loving nephew who stands to inherit millions. Was this a crime of passion - or a carefully planned execution? brbrIt s up to Dallas to solve a sensational case where all involved guard secrets from one another - and strangers may be connected in unexpected, and deadly, ways.brbr Nora Roberts is cool. - Stephen King

Darlene McFeters (Garden City, MO USA)
As always this is another hit! The plot keeps you on the edge, there is no clear road. There are twists and turns in every new chapter. br /The relationship between personalties is wonderful and very real, oh, to have such friends. Never a bad book by J. D. Robb aka Nora Roberts.

Nora Roberts, never let's me down when it come to Eve Dallas. I love how she has let us see her grow into her relationships with Roarke, and the rest of the crew. All I can say if you have not read any of these books go and get them.
great read November 3, 2008
Rosie Gibson
I love this series. This book is exciting, funny, and romantic. It grabs you fast and you just have to hang on until the end. It is strictly an adult book, and a great read.
As Good as Ever with an Ending to Satisfy October 30, 2008
Toni V. Sweeney (Mission Viejo, CA USA)
I don't know how many novels about Eve Dallas I've read. I started at the beginning before she met Roarke and have kept going. This one is as satisfying as all the others. The familiar cast of characters is here, each one doing their thing, all still evolving and growing in their roles. In this one, there are two murders: a beloved sporting goods magnet is found dead in bed, apparently the result of kicky sex gone wrong, and a no-good straying husband who seems to have been killed by the woman he picked up in a bar. Wrong! It doesn't take Eve long to suspect a specific person, the one person everyone thinks couldn't possibly be guilty of such a crime, and the way she solves both crimes is great. The climax when she's facing the killer is satisfying because, when it happens, she does exactly what a lot of the readers will probably be wanting to do. Other climaxes are on a more personal level--more interaction between the richest man in the world and his police lieutenant wife. In this one, they have one of their rare arguments--over his money and her lack of it--before the inevitable making-up. Watch out for the scene in Roarke's steamy, heated swimming pool. If the water wasn't hot before Eve slid into it, it certainly is afterward! One of the things I particularly like about these books are the exchanges between Eve and Peabody, and Eve and Roarke--and the obvious love these two characters--who have both had hard lives and are still to a certain extent picking their way through their relationship. This book is up the same high standards as the other novels and is one I recommend.
