Eve Dallas tracks a couple whose passion is fueled by cold brutalityin the newest crime thriller from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Obsession in Death and Festive in Death. When Lieutenant Eve Dallas examines a body in a downtown Manhattan alleyway, the victim’s injuries are so extensive that she almost misses the clue. Carved into the skin is the shape of a heart—and initials inside reading E and D . . . Ella-Loo and her boyfriend, Darryl, had been separated while Darryl was a guest of the state of Oklahoma, and now that his sentence has been served they don’t ever intend to part again. Ella-Loo’s got dreams. And Darryl believes there are better ways to achieve your dreams than working for them. So they hit the road, and when their car breaks down in Arkansas, they make plans to take someone else’s. Then things get messy and they wind up killing someone—an experience that stokes a fierce, wild desire in Ella-Loo. A desire for Darryl. And a desire to kill again. As they cross state lines on their way to New York to find the life they think they deserve, they will leave a trail of evil behind them. But now they’ve landed in the jurisdiction of Lieutenant Dallas and her team at the New York Police and Security Department. And with her husband, Roarke, at her side, she has every intention of hunting them down and giving them what they truly deserve . . .
This is going to be my first experience reading books by this Author, and I think I couldn't have chosen a better book to get engrossed in!! Just by reading the synopsis itself, I wish I had a copy of the book itself, so I could have started reading it today!! Instead I have to put it on my TBR list, until I can run into town to pick it up, along with a couple other gems that I found! I shudder to think that in today's society, a story line such as this is actually possible!! Just when you think you've heard it all, there's a story that comes out, and brings you to your knees. This story is so bizarre, that it's actually possible, yet I'd love to see how it plays out. Congratulations on your new book!! It's going to make for great Fall reading!!

Just finished reading this book. It was great as usual. I have read all of the In death books by J. D. Robb books. They are all good. (Gloria Jenkins 5:37am September 21, 2015)
