"Haunted In Death"   By J.D Robb
A Lt. Eve Dallas and Roarke Novella
Haunted in Death
2011 Book Review #99

         Book Cover Summary

Number Twelve is an urban legend in 2060 New York City. The hot club in the 1960s, it is now reported to be haunted...and cursed. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called there to investigate the apparent murder of Radcliff Hopkins, its new owner and the grandson of the man who made Number Twelve a cultural icon.

Several bullets from a banned gun end his dream of returning the building to its former glory. With everyone around her talking about the supernatural, pragmatic Eve won't let rumors of ghosts distract her from hard evidence.

The case becomes even more bizarre when it appears to be linked to the suspicious disappearance of a rock star…eighty-five years ago. As Eve searches for the connection, logic clashes with the unexplainable. She may be forced to face the threat of something more dangerous than a flesh-and-blood killer.

My Thoughts:   I love all the characters and plots of this series.  This is a short novella, but, the action remains the same!  Be warned that the language is harsh and there are explicit sex scene.  I tune them out because the mystery is worth reading.
