Add to basketThe 28th 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 (shopping, cooking, laundry, groundskeeping, maintaining the heated indoor pool and a garage/museum full of cars and jetcopters, not to mention Eve's flying police car) by only one aging Man Friday. This time around, new-to-New-York detective Amaryllis Coltraine is killed with her own service weapon just steps from her apartment. 342 pp.

"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
While we mark down our unsold books on a regular basis, our "BEST PRICE" on any given day is the price posted. We purposely avoid selling on the "Make me an offer" auction sites, where every book is "acceptable" and paperback reprints of "The Great Gatsby" bearing ISBNs and barcodes are listed as "published 1925."

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 lbs., or 1 kg. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. Please make sure your e-mail program will accept such an inquiry from an ABE Books address. "SHIPPING RATE" is a small pull-down menu at ABE. Media mail is the default setting; you may choose "Priority," which costs more but carries some automatic insurance protection, if you wish. To keep our basic shipping rate competitive, we do not routinely pay out of pocket to insure books valued under $50. HOWEVER (SIGNATURE REQUIRED): We now ship all parcels valued at $90 or more "signature required," at our expense. Customers are responsible to provide a secure shipping address. In the case of shipments valued over $90. Should no adult signer be available when the mailman calls, buyers should be on the lookout for a "notice of attempt to deliver." We ship in boxes -- not plastic bags. In our experience, deliveries to France, Italy and Western Australia can take from three to 13 weeks, regardless of shipping method. We cannot control Customs delays in such countries, the luxurious seasonal vacation schedules of government functionaries, nor the proudly announced preference of Australian postal authorities to spend a week shipping even "Priority" packages across the continent from Sydney to Perth by truck -- camels apparently not being consistently available.
