Loading... J.D. Robb CD Collection 9: Creation in Death, Strangers in Death, Salvation in Death (In Death Series) (edition 2009)by J. D. Robb, Susan Ericksen (Reader)
Creation in Death: Eve has seen this crime scene before: the artfully arranged body of a young brunette, marked by the signs of prolonged and painful torture. Carved into her torso is the time it took her to die - in hours, minutes, and seconds. And on the third finger of her left hand has been placed a silver ring. Eve is catapulted back to an unsolved case nine years earlier, when "The Groom" put the city on edge with a killing spree that took the lives of four women in fifteen days. Now The Groom seems to have come back to where he started. Strangers in Death: It doesn't surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anders's scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation for the public - and humiliation for his family. But the facts don't add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn't struggle. The security breach in his highly fortified apartment indicates that the killer was someone close to Anders, but everyone's alibi checks out. Was this a crime of passion - or a carefully planned execution? Salvation in Death: At the most solemn moment of a Catholic funeral Mass, the priest brings the chalice to his lips. Seconds later, he is dead on the altar. For the mourners packed into the pews, Father Miguel Flores's sudden demise is an unimaginable shock. When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained enough potassium cyanide to kill a rhino, she's prepared to plunge in and find out why. English | Primary description for language | Description provided by Bowker | score: 3 Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her husband Roarke sweep into action in a trio of novels set in a futuristic twenty-first century New York. English | score: 1 "The priest at a Catholic funeral mass brings the chalice to his lips--and falls over dead. When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained potassium cyanide, she's determined to solve the murder of Father Miguel Flores, despite her discomfort with her surroundings. It's not the bodegas and pawn shops of East Harlem that bother her, though the neighborhood is a long way from the stone mansion she shares with her billionaire husband Roarke. It's all that holiness flying around at St. Christobal's that makes her uneasy. A search of the victim's sparsely furnished room reveals little--except for a carefully hidden religious medal with a mysterious inscription, and a couple of underlined Bible passages. The autopsy reveals more: 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" -- from publisher's web site. English | score: 1
