Ancient church rituals meet cutting-edge crime-solving in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series featuring NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas.Seconds after partaking of wine during a Catholic funeral mass, Father Miguel Flores is dead on the altar. Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained enough potassium cyanide to kill a rhino. And though the East … rhino. And though the East Harlem neighborhood is a long way from the stone mansion she shares with her billionaire husband Roarke, it’s the holiness flying around St. Christobal’s that makes her uneasy.
The autopsy reveals faint scars of knife wounds, a removed tattoo—and evidence of plastic surgery suggesting “Father Flores” may not be the man his parishioners thought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that suggest identity theft, gang connections, and a deeply personal act of revenge, she hopes to track down whoever committed this unholy act. Until a second murder—in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers—knocks the whole investigation sideways…

Interesting twist on religious themes from an outsider’s view point.
I have loved Eve and Roarke right from #1 and have never had one disappoint! Great series.
The not so distant future shows Eve that people continue to be complicated creatures that harbor secrets. While this tale is in the midst of the “In Death” series, it can be read alone and may inspire one to jump in the rest of the series.
One of the best,page turner you can’t put down.
very good series
Nora Roberts (J.D. Robb) has never written a bad boring book. This book is also a
winner!
The ‘in Death ‘ Eve Dallas future cop series never disappoints. This book is a fun read. Why is someone killing men of God? The bodies add up as the story unfolds and Eve stands for the dead, no matter if they were good or bad in life.
I have every JD Robb book in this series but the last two, will purchase those when prices go down. Love these books
Love all the in death books
The in Death series is my all time favorite series. Lots of books but definitely worth the time.
I eagerly await every book by JD Robb. Not crazy futuristic just slightly possible. I only hope we are not starting our own Urban Wars roight now!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of this series by JD Robb, and re-read them over and over again, waiting for the next ones to appear! So good. This is one of my faves!
Always a fan of Eve Dallas & Roarke
Futuristic setting is believable. Love J D Robb. Have read them all. Great Characters. Addictive.
Best series ever
Once again a Great “.. in Death” book. A fresh crime that no one could have anticipated. Keeps you coming back for more.
Great book in a great series!
Very interesting book. Two murders solved. The murders were the main focus of the book. Characters weren’t focused on as much but still over came issues. Very good read.
As usual, Nora knocks it out of the park.
One of my book series. Great characters and storyline.
