Editorial Reviews

Thomas Anders's murder was a tabloid monger's dream. When the billionaire mogul is found dead, tied to his bed with black velvet cords, the messy Park Avenue strangling becomes the tawdry talk of the town. For Anders's tight-lipped associates, however, this kinky crime is best left unsolved -- and undiscussed. To loosen tongues, Lieutenant Eve Dallas needs superhuman persistence and occasionally the help of her well-heeled husband, Roarke. What emerges will surprise even devoted fans of Nora Roberts/J. D. Robb's In Death series.

In bestseller Robb's slick 26th not-so-near-future crime thriller to feature Lt. Eve Dallas (after 2007's Creation in Death), the New York City homicide cop investigates the murder of business tycoon Thomas Anders, whose strangled body is discovered tied to his bed, apparently the victim of a kinky sex encounter gone bad. Aided by her mysterious husband, Roarke, and long-time sidekick Det. Delia Peabody, Eve doggedly questions Anders's widow, Ava, and his nephew, Benedict Forrest, number two at the victim's corporation, Anders Worldwide. Both Ava and Benedict have alibis that put them far from the crime scene at the time of Anders's death. While the guilty party soon becomes obvious and the gimmick used by the culprit clear to anyone familiar with Strangers on a Train, Robb's strong, hard-nosed heroine once again generates the kind of heat that keeps fans turning the pages.
