A Lieutenant Eve Dallas Mystery
Dallas is a hard-boiled cop with a soft side for her billionaire husband Roarke. It is New York City 50 years in the future and New York is still a major urban area with a lot of crime.
Conducting a top secret investigation into the death of a fellow police officer has homicide detective, Lieutenant Eve Dallas, treading on dangerous ground. She must put professional ethics before personal loyalties.
A respected and popular cop has died of natural causes despite the fact that he is only half as old as his life expectancy dictates. Then, his grand-daughter dies in an accident. Eve has been ordered to investigate his death, secretly, because there are questions the Internal Affairs Department wants answered. Her investigation soon has her immersed in the wiccan community and the occult society. She meets both white witches and black witches. After a body from a ritual murder is left outside their gate at home, Roarke also gets involved with the case. He wants to protect Eve from the danger he is afraid is ahead.
The danger is there. Eve’s partner, Peabody is right by her side. Roarke is helping with the electronic/computer searches for their information because Eve’s boss, Captain Feeney, who would normally do this, hasn’t been apprised of the investigation. They attend a wiccan initiation and they visit the night spots favored by the followers of the occult.
More people die.
The mystery takes its twists and turns, keeping Eve on her toes until the end.
I love Robb’s “in Death” series of mysteries and this is another one I can recommend.
Warning: Graphic violence, Strong language and Strong sexual content
