Publisher's summary

Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still a place of many cultures and great divides. And as ever, some murders receive more attention than others - especially those in which the victim is a prominent businessman found in his Park Avenue apartment tied to the bed - and strangled - with cords of black velvet.

It doesn't surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anders' scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation for the public - and humiliation for his family. While everyone else in the city is talking about it, those close to Anders aren't so anxious to do so. Fortunately, because Dallas' billionaire husband, Roarke, happens to own the prime real estate where Anders's sporting-goods firm was headquartered, she has some help with access.

Before long, she's knocking on doors - or barging through them - to look for the answers she needs. But the facts don't add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn't struggle. The security breach in the highly fortified apartment indicates that the killer was someone close to Anders, but everyone's alibi checks out, from the wife who was off in the tropics to the loving nephew who stands to inherit millions. Was this a crime of passion - or a carefully planned execution?

It's up to Dallas to solve a sensational case where all involved guard secrets from one another - and strangers may be connected in unexpected and deadly ways.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Critic reviews

"Concisely narrated with verve and humor by Susan Ericksen.... Her Irish accent for Roarke is uncannily believable as is the voice of a character who is suffering from a terrible cold. The production is engaging, and Ericksen's verbal nuances add drama to the novel." (AudioFile)

As usual another excellent JD ROBB book!!

When Lt. Eve Dallas is sent to the scene of a very sexual murder case. She is positive that the wife did it she just has to figure how she did it. In the meantime Baxter has a murder that has gone cold and it didn't follow the same pattern as hers but eventually Eve figures out that they are connected.
I loved getting an update on Charles and Louise and that Charles finally see the light and quits being a LLC, changes his profession and asks Louise to marry him.

Good story and great performance.

Love JD Robb's "In Death"Series. Susan Ericksen.does a great job performing the story, differentiating the characters. Glad the publisher has kept her consistent voice throughout the series.

Another Excellent Eve Dallas Mystery

I love the Eve Dallas/Roark novels. The characters are great and the mysteries are always well plotted. I like to read them as well as listen to them. Susan Erickson is perfect as Eve and wonderful as Roark with his Irish accent.

One of my favorite IN DEATH stories

This is truly one of the best stories in the series. I would, however, liked to have some sort of response from Ben, Bridge, and all the others who supported Ava, cradled her, and defended her. Maybe an epilogue of the supporters response to Ava’s plot: maybe a spot on ‘NOW’. That would be just since Ava loves PR.

Slow start

This one had sort of a slow start but as usual it had a great ending. Can’t say enough about the excellent narration.
