Paul Rogan's death initially looks like a suicide bombing although
Lieutenant Eve Dallas is puzzled by his motivations as every indication
shows he was a devoted family man. However, when law enforcement is
unable to contact his wife and small daughter, things take a different
turn. Paul Rogan was a victim himself, cruelly forced to choose
between the lives of his wife and daughter or detonating the suicide
vest at his company. Eve is determined to find out who is behind the
bombing as she has eleven people dead and nine wounded.
Unfortunately, this bombing is only the start of a diabolical plan and it
will take the combined efforts of Eve, her husband Roarke, and Eve's
entire division if they are to stop these mass killings.
LEVERAGE IN DEATH is the 47th
book in the phenomenal In Death series and wow, this series only gets better with time! J.D. Robb
does a marvelous job at making each one of her stories standalone so
that new readers can jump right into the series and enjoy the storyline.
However, the warmth and love of the self-made family Eve and Roarke
have developed is something that is best appreciated if one has read at
least a few of the other books. Some of the smaller details, such as
Eve's ongoing battle with the candy thief and Detective Jenkinson's
ties, are part of the fun and are woven in and out of the series,
maintaining a certain consistency that makes me love even the minor
characters in this series.
Eve delves into the darkness underpinning the suicide bombing, even
as the death toll increases. J.D. Robb has her characters ask
themselves what they would do in a similar situation and it's both a
horrifying and thought-provoking moment. One of the things I love
about the In Death series is
that J.D. Robb doesn't shirk away from looking at the harsher realities
of life, including those ethical dilemmas that make us ask what the line
is between murderer and victim. LEVERAGE IN DEATH does an excellent job at pointing
out this exact issue and I love the depth of storyline that J.D. Robb
provides us.
LEVERAGE IN DEATH is yet
another must-read in a stunningly good mystery series jam-packed
with action, humor, and love. I love Eve and Rourke, but I have to admit I
love little Bella even more. Mavis and Leonardo's daughter, Bella, steals
the show with just one scene as her name for Summerset will stick in
my head every time I see his name from here on out. I'm still laughing
thinking about it! Hands down, the In
Death series is the best long-running series out there and LEVERAGE IN DEATH highlights
exactly why J.D. Robb fans can't wait for the next installment even after
47 books.
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.
