Delusion in Death - In Death #35 (J.D. Robb / Nora Roberts)


Delusion in Death - In Death #35
J.D. Robb / Nora Roberts

Blurb: 
'What would cause someone to want so many people, surely many of them strangers, to slaughter each other?'


The scene that greets Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her team one terrible evening in New York is more shocking than any of them have ever witnessed. A usually comfortable downtown bar is strewn with bodies - office workers who have been sliced, bludgeoned or hacked to death with the nearest weapon available. It appears they all turned on each other in a desperate blinding rage.

As Ever and her husband Roarke - who owned the bar among his many properties - investigate the big-business workers of the city, they link the attacks back to the Urban Wars and the chemical warfare used all those years ago. With another slaughter imminent, Eve must turn to unexpected sources in order to stop a killer who is getting revenge by creating mass carnage...

Till Death Us Do Part - Wicked! Part Six (Morris Gleitzman & Paul Jennings)


Till Death Us Do Part - Wicked! Part Six
Morris Gleitzman & Paul Jennings

Blurb: Rory's tiny breaths sounded like milkshake fighting its way up a very thin straw. His eyes were closed.

'Rory,' I said. 'Don't die. Don't die.'

His eyes fell open. They flicked wildly around. 'The goat,' he shouted.

I didn't bother looking behind me. I knew there was no goat. And I knew Rory wasn't dying. Not yet.

It's WICKED! It's the end. But you'll never forget it.

Rapture in Death & Ceremony in Death - Omnibus (Nora Roberts / J.D. Robb)

Rapture in Death & Ceremony in Death - Omnibus
Nora Roberts / J.D. Robb

Blurb: Rapture in Death
Three apparent suicides: a brilliant engineer, an infamous lawyer and a controversial politician. Three strangers with nothing in common - and no obvious reason for killing themselves. But police lieutenant Eve Dallas is immediately suspicious of the deaths. And her instincts pay off when autopsies reveal small burn marks on the brains of the victims. Is this a genetic abnormality or a high-tech method of murder? Eve's investigation turns to the provocative world of virtual reality games - where the same techniques used to create joy and desire can also prompt the mind to become the weapon of its own destruction.

Ceremony in Death
Conducting a top-secret investigation into the death of a fellow police officer has Lieutenant Eve Dallas treading on dangerous ground. She must put professional ethics before personal loyalties. But when a dead body is placed outside her home, Eve takes the warning personally. With her husband Roarke watching her every move, Eve is drawn into the most dangerous case of her career. Every step she takes makes her question her own beliefs of right and wrong - and brings her closer to a confrontation with humanity's most seductive form of evil...
