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's scandalous death is a score 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'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. 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 indicatefs 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.
Review:
I absolutely loved this book. I was not disappointed at all with this one and it fell in step with all the other In Death books she has out. I really like how Eve stands up for the victim and she will not stop until she finds out what happened to the victim. It is great to see what the other characters are up to in the their lives. Of course Roarke was very yummy
I like the relationship between Eve and Roarke especially how he is always there for her. I cannot wait for the next book in this series and I know it will be awhile before it comes out so I know I will be reading this one again in the very near future.
