About this ebook

“IF YOU HAVEN’T READ ROBB, THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO START.”—Stephen King

“A WITTY, DARK, PAGE-TURNING TALE OF FUTURISTIC CRIME FIGHTING. RAYMOND CHANDLER MEETS BLADE RUNNER MEETS SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.”—Jonathan Kellerman

New York City, 2060: Lieutenant Eve Dallas never forgets a corpse. Her new case will resurrect the memories of women she couldn’t save—and the killer who slipped out of her grasp…

When the body of a young brunette is found in East River Park, artfully positioned and marked by signs of prolonged and painful torture, Lieutenant Eve Dallas 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.
 
But this time, it becomes chillingly clear that the killer has made his attack personal. The young woman was employed by Eve’s billionaire husband, Roarke, washed in products from a store Roarke owns, and laid out on a sheet his company manufactures. Chances are, The Groom is 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.

Ratings and reviews

It was a good book, but I have read better ones in the death book series. Don't you wish you could live life like them if even for a short time !!!

I've come to know & admire these characters. Sometimes the stories follow a formula, but the characters are so likabke I find myself reading with a smile!

#25 and going strong. I've been reading this series in order, after having first read a couple of later books first, as I felt as though it was important to meet the main character and the people in her life...it is! These books are not for the queezy . They do get explicit of murder. This, like most, grabbed me from the first and I couldn't put it down. Eve and her team of cops, and her oh so sexy husband, really come together as a family. They work tirelessly until they get their man. GREAT READ! Suzie
