Creative Threats - Quotes from the "In Death" Series
Since Eve Dallas is essentially a New York Cop, she's not opposed to pushing people around a bit when it's necessary. Sometimes those conflicts result in physical violence, but more often than not, they present themselves in the form of some very creative threats. Roarke, Peabody and other characters know that Eve's threats are often just bluster, and they've begun to also come up with some very creative threats when a situation calls for it.
This page lists some of the more creative threats that Eve has issued to suspects or other characters in the books. It also lists any creative threats Roarke, Peabody, or other characters have also uttered.
Eve's Creative Threats
Witness in Death, Pg. 98: —
Look maintenance boy, if you're toying with me, I'll bite your ears off and make them into stew.

Memory in Death, Pg. 113: —
Let me go or I swear I'll kick your ass so hard that extra five pounds you're whining about will end up in Trenton. Peabody's response was incoherent and muffled against Eve's sweater. Get snot on my coat and I'll strangle you with that scarf after I kick your ass.

Roarke's Creative Threats
Judgment in Death, Pg. 342: —
Roarke to Max Ricker: Touch her, put your hand on what's mine again, and I'll follow you to hell and peel the skin from your bones. I'll feed you your own eyes.

Peabody's Creative Threats
Divided in Death, Pg. 187: —
Yeah, looks like you've got a pair each [eyes]...If you want to keep them in your skulls, you'll keep them on that scooter. Because if I come back out and it isn't where I left it, in the condition I left it, my associate and I are going to hunt you down like sick dogs. While he's shoving that pipe up your ass, I'm going to pop your fellow asshole's eyes out. With my thumbs.
