About this Item

The 45th of Robb's "In Death" adventures of homicide detective Eve Dallas, who polices a 2060 New York City where guns have been banned. (It's never made clear what happened to the Second Amendment, but it's a wish-fulfillment fantasy that Robb's readers seem to enjoy sharing, along with the notion that our heroine can enjoy living in a magic castle in Central Park with her fantastically handsome Irish capitalist billionaire husband (so capitalism also survives in New York? Hey, fantasy) -- a gazillion-room castle apparently staffed with only one aging Man Friday. In "Secrets," Eve tackles the murder of a newspaper gossip columnist who seems to have figured out how to make more money by NOT publishing some of what she learns. An "as-new" first printing with full number line; 370 pp.

About this title

Synopsis

In Secrets in Death the #1 New York Times bestselling series by J.D. Robb continues: Lt. Eve Dallas must separate rumors from reality when a woman who traffics in other people’s secrets is silenced.

The chic Manhattan nightspot Du Vin is not the kind of place Eve Dallas would usually patronize, and it’s not the kind of bar where a lot of blood gets spilled. But that’s exactly what happens one cold February evening.

The mortally wounded woman is Larinda Mars, a self-described “social information reporter,” or as most people would call it, a professional gossip. As it turns out, she was keeping the most shocking stories quiet, for profitable use in her side business as a blackmailer. Setting her sights on rich, prominent marks, she’d find out what they most wanted to keep hidden and then bleed them dry. Now someone’s done the same to her, literally―with a knife to the brachial artery.

Eve didn’t like Larinda Mars. But she likes murder even less. To find justice for this victim, she’ll have to plunge into the dirty little secrets of all the people Larinda Mars victimized herself. But along the way, she may be exposed to some information she really didn’t want to know…
