LIEUTENANT EVE DALLAS EXPLORES THE HIDDEN CONNECTIONS AMONG
RIENDS AND LOVERS, ENEMIES AND STRANGERS
Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still
a place of many cultures and giant 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's
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 arem't so anxious to do so.
Fortunately, because Dallas's billionaire husband, Roarke, happens to
own the prime real estate where Anders's sporting-goods firm was
headquartered, she has some help with access.
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?

Industry Reviews
"Robb's strong, hard-nosed heroine once again generates the kind of heat that keeps fans turning the pages."--Publishers Weekly "Settle back for another eminently entertaining chapter in this first-rate and long-running detective series. Early on strong-willed Lt. Eve Dallas pegs her suspect, but what follows is a thriller that also becomes a personal battle of wills. Robb has created a cunning killer who uses money and a sympathetic fa�ade to divert suspicion. But, as many a killer can attest, never bet against Eve Dallas!"--RT Book Reviews
