About this ebook

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Lieutenant Eve Dallas must hunt down the deadly snipers terrorizing Manhattan in this fast-paced In Death thriller from J. D. Robb.

 
The shots came quickly, silently, and with deadly accuracy. Within seconds, three people were dead at Central Park’s ice-skating rink. The victims: a talented young skater, a doctor, and a teacher. As random as random can be.

Eve Dallas has seen a lot of killers during her time with the NYPSD but never one like this. A review of the security videos reveals that the victims were killed with a tactical laser rifle fired by a sniper, who could have been miles away when the trigger was pulled. And though the list of locations where the shooter could have set up seems endless, the number of people with that particular skill set is finite: police, military, professional killer.

Eve’s husband, Roarke, has unlimited resources—and genius—at his disposal. And when his computer program leads Eve to the location of the sniper, she learns a shocking fact: There were two—one older, one younger. Someone is being trained by an expert in the science of killing, and they have an agenda. Central Park was just a warm-up. And as another sniper attack shakes the city to its core, Eve realizes that though we’re all shaped by the people around us, there are those who are just born evil...

I found myself being afraid for the people on the " hit " list of this father/daughter serial killer team...afraid for all the people of NYC. I also was, as the storyline progressed, afraid for Eve, Roarke, Summer set and LT Dallas' whole team, as well as the friends that she loves dearly. I was never quite sure if any one of them would become targets. This was a page turner of the most terrifying kind. I'll add, as usual, that I just love getting to know more and more about Eve Dallas, and I find that I relate to many of her struggles, her values, and her growth along her journey of life. Can't wait to read the next. ( I highly recommend reading this series in order.) Suzie

One of her best, but I think that every time. She takes you to the future, but not too far so it's still realistic Even though it's a series, she pulls in from the other books. And the Love is hot and just enough.

A good read of detective, technical, tracking and anticipating the next move,. Callous disregard of life is the motivation of such cold blooded evil from a twisted concept of justice. This case drives the Lieutenant to calculate the mind of a manipulating, thrill seeking killer and catch the cowards in the strategic game they played. Another favorite added to my collection of J.D. Robb In death series!
