Creation in Death

Mystery Woman Sleuth | Suspense

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!

SUMMARY

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.
