Product Description
In the year 2060, cutting-edge investigative tools can help catch a killer. But there are some questions even the most advanced technologies cannot answer. . . .brAt the most solemn moment of a Catholic funeral Mass, the priest brings the chalice to his lips. Seconds later, he is dead on the altar.brFor the mourners packed into the pews, Father Miguel Flores's sudden demise is an unimaginable shock. When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained enough potassium cyanide to kill a rhino, she's prepared to plunge in and find out why, despite her discomfort with her surroundings. It's not the bodegas and pawnshops of East Harlem that bother her; it's all that holiness flying around St. Cristobal's that makes her uneasy.brThe autopsy reveals scars from knife wounds, a removed tattoo, and evidence of plastic surgery, suggesting "Father Flores" may not have been 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.brThe way Eve sees it, vengeance may be the Lord's business, but if there's going to be any earthly justice in this case, it's up to her.

 This was Robb's best November 20, 2008
Denise W.
This was a smart and well thought out plot. I wasn't able to put the book down. The pages just flew right by.
 Worst in the series November 19, 2008
Kelley Sanderson (Chipita Park, CO, USA)
I've read every book in this series and enjoyed all of them except this one. When a friend told me not to waste my time reading it, I thought she must have been having a bad day. Unfortunately, I had to slog my way through it, hoping it would get better. I was very, very disappointed in the book.
A thrill a minute November 17, 2008
Deborah Haupt (Portage des Sioux, MO United States)
Eve Dallas mid 21st century NY cop and her multi-billionarie husband Roarke are on the case of a murdered Catholic Priest where they immediately have more questions than answers another murdered religious icon and thrills that don't stop until you read the last line. br /If you follow the series this is the 27th in the series where you'll get to catch up on all your favorite supporting characters and find out what they're up to now. br /If you prefer stand a-lones this one stands all by it's self.
 A weak entry in the "In Death" series November 17, 2008

Like other reviewers have stated, parts of this novel seemed phoned in. Where is our edgy Eve, our cagey Rourke, our sassy Peabody?? It felt like the characters were just going through the motions. I was wondering where Mavis was when she suddenly popped in! No repartee with Summerset? And Robb has annoying habit of popping in information that helps solve the case. I've noticed that in every one of her books, where suddenly, she'll make a lightening leap of logic that enables her to solve the case. A flaw? Only if overused. br / br /Three stars for this novel.
Salvation in Death November 17, 2008
Angus Macgyver (Staunton, IL USA)
Supurb! I think this is the best of the entire series (and I have every one). Just a great murder mystery. They always have me from the beginning but this one I really couldn't put down. br / br /I was beginning to wonder if this series hadn't just about run its course but if they continue like this one I'm in for the duration. br / br /The characters are all there and keeping with their assorted chacteristics, as a matter of a fact each book adds more. It makes for a better rounded Eve. br / br /My only dissappointment in the book is that the author seems to have forgotten about DNA. br / br /Keep them coming! Nora
