Kindred in Death

Kindred in Death

In Kindred in Death, Nora Roberts signs in as J.D. Robb to take us back to the future, where Lieutenant Eve Dallas seeks a serial killer who has brutalized a young girl. Once a vivacious 16-year-old, Deena MacMasters’ lifeless body now lies in her bedroom covered in bruises that horrify even the most seasoned cops, foremost among them NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas. Eve was summoned to the girl’s home, a Central Park South estate, by Deena’s father, Jonah MacMasters—the NYPSD’s new captain. But the pressure Eve feels to find the maniac responsible doesn’t come as much from her boss as from memories of her own rape and abuse years ago, and she quickly jumps on the one clue they have: Deena unquestionably knew her assailant. When Deena’s best friend reveals she had a secret boyfriend, Eve is off and running, calling in support from her millionaire husband, Roarke, an Internet genius, to seek whatever data he can find. Only when another body turns up, and then another, does Eve realize that the perp is toying with her, using different identities to tease and taunt…which is good. Eve knows that overconfidence leads to careless mistakes, and all she needs is one to take him down.
