Publisher Description
On a bitterly cold night on the steps outside an empty office in New York's financial district, a woman lies dead. It seems like a mugging gone wrong, but Eve Dallas soon discovers that the body was dumped there deliberately.
Now she has to find out why.
Eve has a host of suspects for Marta Dickenson's murder. Using her husband Roarke's business know-how and with Detective Delia Peabody by her side - when not distracted by the upcoming premiere they're all to attend - Eve starts examining the motives of some very powerful people in order to catch a killer.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller Robb's engaging 37th Eve Dallas thriller (after 2012's Delusion in Death), Dallas and her partner, Delia Peabody, look into the death of Marta Dickenson. Found with a broken neck at the bottom of a stairway in an Upper East Side Manhattan building, which is under renovation by a financial consultant group, Dickenson was employed as an accountant by a firm nearby. And her briefcase, containing files she had been auditing, was stolen. Confident it's a case of murder, Dallas and her smoothly running team conduct an ever-widening probe of accountants, financial advisers, their spouses, and their lovers. Her husband, Roarke, a former hacker and now owner of his own electronics company, lends his special skills. Robb (the pen name of Nora Roberts) supplies her usual winning blend of keen investigative work, striking characterizations, and enthusiastic sex, all leavened with a fine sense of humor.
Customer Reviews
Continues to Delight
After so many books in the series (and I've read them all), I still look forward to each new release and find it a pleasure to read. I feel this must be testimony to the skill, creativity and craft of this author. As always an excellent and absorbing read - watching characters and relationships develop over time and enjoying the more immediate story of murder and intrigue. There are standouts in the series for me - Kindred in Death, Survivor in Death, Fantasy in Death, etc - but this is a solid entry.

Excellent story I throughly enjoyed reading it
Calculated in death
Worse book I read in my life. Nothing positive about it. Story is terrible research is poor and writing is appalling. Don't waste your money and save some time. You have been warned.
