In LEVERAGE IN DEATH, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is a veteran
homicide cop, nothing surprises her or shocks her until a
suicide bombing goes against every instinct she has. Why
would a seemingly good man, a man who loves his wife and
daughter, suddenly decide to go into a meeting and blow up
himself and the people there? Eve, with with the help of her
husband, Roarke and the determined team of her division must
find the truth because as answers come to light, she's
afraid more needless deaths will follow.
There are so many things that make up all of author J.D.
Robb's In
Death series, and they are all here in this
offering. LEVERAGE IN DEATH brings readers the danger,
drama, humor, fun, determination of one tough cop, and life
and police procedures in a futuristic world that readers
still find captivating even after all this time. This is the
47th book, and it is a series that only gets better as the
people we have come to depend on grow together, flesh out
and in a sense become family, sometimes to Eve's chagrin,
but readers pleasure.
Though Eve and her team are deep in the danger, death and
trying desperately to prevent more as they hurry to solve
the case, there are still the lighthearted moments that are,
in my opinion, necessary and part of the various
personalities that fill these pages. In this one our
intrepid newscaster, Nadine Furst's book turned movie, The
Icove Agenda, is up for an academy award; with Mavis
Freestone performing live and all the drama that, added of
course to Eve's horror at possibly having to go. My favorite
light moment was when little Bella gave Eve a finger
painting and sat to explain what it was and I must confess
that I burst out laughing when the little darling said
Summerset's name. Sorry, you have to read it to know what
she said. Also, you have to love the way Eve mangles common
sayings such as "Kill two birds with one arrow" and even
after she is corrected she goes to explain why hers makes
more sense and really -- they do. Then, of course, the ties
and socks that are a fun part of the cop central.
J.D. Robb continues her In
Death series with LEVERAGE IN DEATH, a fast paced,
action packed storyline with characters that readers have
come to love, with moments of humor (some expected and some
moments totally out of nowhere) with the marital drama that
continues with the added dashes of steamy that are totally
Roarke and Eve. Another winner and keeper.
Lieutenant Eve Dallas puzzles over a bizarre suicide
bombing in a Wall St. office building in Leverage in
Death, the latest in the #1 New York Times
bestselling series from J.D. Robb…
For the airline executives finalizing a merger that would
make news in the business world, the nine a.m. meeting would
be a major milestone. But after marketing VP Paul Rogan
walked into the plush conference room, strapped with
explosives, the headlines told of death and destruction
instead. The NYPSD’s Eve Dallas confirms that Rogan was
cruelly coerced by two masked men holding his family
hostage. His motive was saving his wife and daughter—but
what was the motive of the masked men?
Despite the chaos and bad publicity, blowing up one meeting
isn’t going to put the brakes on the merger. All it’s
accomplished is shattering a lot of innocent lives. Now,
with the help of her billionaire husband Roarke, Eve must
untangle the reason for an inexplicable act of terror, look
at suspects inside and outside both corporations, and
determine whether the root of this crime lies in simple
sabotage, or something far more complex and twisted.
