Lt. Eve Dallas is on the trail of a serial killer the press
has dubbed "the Groom." But the killer is not a new enemy;
he's returned after a long hiatus and plans to make Eve his
final victim. His victims all have one common denominator --
they're all tied to Roarke in one way or another. This
gives Eve an open door to using her "civilian consultant"
and, of course, she's determined to put herself in the hot
seat, tempting the killer to come after her before anyone
else dies at his hands.
CREATION IN DEATH, the 25th installment in the "in Death"
series, is one of Robb's (Roberts) best. The characters are
as fresh and exciting as they've ever been, and the story
is classic Eve Dallas. It's going to be very hard to wait
for the next installment, as it always is. If you haven't
delved into the world of Eve Dallas before, stop denying
yourself. What a treat -- an excellent read!
NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas keeps the streets of a near-
future New York City safe in this extraordinary series.
But even she makes mistakes, and is haunted by those she
couldn't save-and the killers she couldn't capture. When
the body of a young brunette is found in East River Park,
artfully positioned and marked by signs of prolonged and
painful torture, Eve is catapulted back to a case nine
years earlier. The city was on edge from a killing spree
that took the lives of four women in fifteen days,
courtesy of a man the media tagged "The Groom"-because he
put silver rings on the fingers of his victims.
When it turns out that the young brunette was employed by
Eve's billionaire husband, Roarke, she brings him in on
the case-a move that proves fitting when it becomes
chillingly clear that the killer has made his attack
personal. The victim was washed in products from a store
Roarke owns, and laid out on a sheet his company
manufactures.
With the Groom's monstrous
return, Eve is determined to finish him once and for all.
Familiar with his methods, Eve knows that he has already
grabbed his next victim. Time is running out on another
woman's life.
And chances are he's working up
to the biggest challenge of his illustrious career-
abducting a woman who will test his skills and who
promises to give him days and days of pleasure before she
dies: Eve.
