Promises in DeathFrom WikiInDeath
Plot SummaryAt the start of bestseller Robb's megablast 28th novel to feature Lt. Eve Dallas (after Salvation in Death [and Ritual in Death]), Eve is dismayed to discover at a Manhattan crime scene that the victim is a friend, Det. Amaryllis Coltraine, who's been fatally zapped by her own stun gun. Dallas uncovers a connection to Coltraine's ex-boyfriend, Alex Ricker, whose father, a notorious criminal serving a life sentence at the Omega Penal Colony, blames Dallas and her husband, Roarke, for his imprisonment. Humorous touches, like the wild poolside wedding shower Dallas must abruptly leave after receiving word of a prime suspect found shot to death, provide relief from the intensity of the murder investigation. In a nice paranormal twist, Dallas uses dream visits with Coltraine to help expose a devious killer whose identity is a stunner. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) has a real gift for keeping this long-running thriller series fresh. (Feb.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

"Morris ... when I was with him today, he said that being involved with a cop, being in a relationship with one ... He said every day you have to block out the worry. Fear," she corrected. "He said fear. Is that how it is?" Roarke: ... "I fell in love with who you are, with what you are. I took on the whole package." Eve: "That's not answering the question. Or, I guess, it is." Roarke: ... "How can I love you and not be afraid? You're my life, Eve, my heart. You're asking, you're wondering if I ever worry, if I ever fear, that one day Peabody or Feeney, your commander - a cop who's become a friend - will knock on my door? Of course I do." Crack: "I like your man. I hope he be up." Eve: "Roarke being up is never a problem." Character ListList of Main Characters Appearing in this BookList of Secondary Characters Appearing in this Book
