Passion in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel

Homicide Detective Eve Dallas hunts a killer who transforms a joyful pre-wedding celebration into a murder scene in the next novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author, J.D. Robb, Passions in Death. On a sweltering August night, Lt. Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke, rush through the streets of Manhattan to the Down and Dirty club, where a boisterous girls' night out has taken a violent turn. One of the brides lies in a pool of blood, garroted in a private room where she was preparing a surprise for her fiancée—two scrimped and saved-for tickets to Hawaii.

Despite the numerous witnesses present, useful information is scarce. The scene evokes unsettling memories for Eve, who once suffered an assault in the very same room but was able to fight back and survive, ultimately finding justice. Now, she must provide the same for poor young Erin.

Eve recognizes that the level of violence and the apparent premeditation involved suggest a volatile mix of hidden, heated passion and ice-cold calculation. This is a crime that can only be countered through meticulous detective work and relentless dedication—and Eve is determined to find the killer who has destroyed this couple's dreams before the honeymoon even began.

As Eve delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers a tangled web of secrets, desires, and betrayals that have been simmering beneath the surface. The victim's friends and family offer little insight, each harboring their own motives and agendas. Eve must sift through the layers of deception to uncover the truth, even as the killer grows increasingly desperate to cover their tracks.

With Roarke's unwavering support and her team's expertise, Eve navigates the intricate maze of clues, facing unexpected obstacles and dead ends. The pressure mounts as the wedding day approaches, and Eve knows she must act quickly to prevent the killer from striking again. In a race against time, she relentlessly pursues the truth, driven by a fierce determination to ensure that justice is served and the victim's memory is honored.

As the investigation unfolds, Eve's own past experiences with violence and trauma lend a personal weight to the case, fueling her resolve to bring the perpetrator to justice. With her keen instincts and uncompromising dedication, Eve Dallas is the only one who can unravel the complex web of motives and find the killer before it's too late.
