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.

Until a second murder—in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers—knocks the whole investigation sideways…

This book takes a look at the place religion has in Eve’s world of NYC in the 2060. Definitely worth the read. Ok as a standalone or to continue the series. I’m this one we might not particularly like what the victim did but Eve still stands for him no matter what.
This was a good one! They mystery had me until nearly the end. Good story line with excellent twists. I did feel I was deprived of a few of the supporting characters this time, but I was so intrigued by the case, I barely noticed.
Love this series of books.
I love this series and this is one of my favorites of the series.
Great mix of mystery and romance. I’ve loved every book in this series.

I usually skip all the sex pages – they just get in the way of the story!
I love J.D. Robb’s writing and anxiously await new books.
Yet to read but I know it will sensational and hard to put down
J D Robb nevet disappoints, always read,anything in her death series that I can.
Love every one of the books in this series
This story involves a priest. Who would think? The story evolves and in combination with Eve’s hunky husband, keeps you reading until the conclusion .. which is again, unexpected. Another great read!
Love this series from J.D. Robb. I can hardly wait the next book in the series.
Robb is always a great read

I have re-read every one of this series 3 times! (not the current last 8). I can not wait for the next book to arrive! I owned them in hard back and now all of them on Kindle!
JD Robb—as wonderful as ever!

I’ve read all the books in this series. Enjoy the characters, the plots are predictable, but still new enough to keep you guessing.
