Lieutenant Eve Dallas may live in 2059, but she`s still a recognizable Manhattan police officer: mouthy, courageous, skeptical and impatient. In Roberts`s latest In Death novel (after Purity in Death), she`s charged with finding a killer who murders young people full of innocence and promise, photographs them after death, then taunts both a top reporter and Dallas herself with notes about his handiwork. Just as her investigation of Manhattan`s clubs and colleges nears its peak, Eve`s husband, the wealthy entrepreneur Roarke, discovers that his mother is not the cold abandoner he remembers, but a tender young Irishwoman whom his father brutally murdered. While he struggles to understand his heritage, the couple must navigate stormy marital waters. Though the mystery`s denouement doesn`t live up to its promise, the book ably delivers on other fronts. Intensely female yet unfeminine in any traditional sense, Dallas has a complex edge that transcends genre stereotypes and gives the book`s romantic interludes a real charge. As always in Roberts`s work, appealing secondary characters add genuine warmth and humor. And while this futuristic vision of New York may not be totally accurate (it`s unlikely, for example, that Dallas`s oft-used `bite me` will still be in vogue 50 years from now), it`s perfectly calibrated to intrigue.
