'She'd come to New York to be a cop, because she believed in order. Needed it to survive. She had taken control, had made herself into the person some anonymous social worker had named Eve Dallas'



But in a few weeks she won't just be Eve Dallas, lieutenant, homicide. She'll be Roarke's wife. But Eve's wedding plans may have to be put on hold as her private and professional lives collide...



The victim in her latest murder investigation is one of the most sought-after women in the world. A top model who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted - even another woman's man. And Eve's chief suspect is the other woman in this fatal love triangle - her best friend Mavis. Putting her job on the line to head the investigation, Eve discovers that the world of high fashion thrives on an all-consuming passion for youth and fame. One that leads from the runway to the dark underworld of New York City where drugs can fulfil any desire - for a price . . .

Immortal In Death is the third book in the popular In Death series by American author, J.D. Robb. Hot on the heels of catching the murder case of her confidential informant, Carson Johannsen, Eve Dallas finds herself investigating another violent killing. Famous model Pandora was beaten to death in the atelier of fashion designer, Leonardo, who just happens to be creating Eve’s wedding dress, and who has recently taken up with Eve’s friend, Mavis Freestone.

A public altercation between Pandora and Mavis earlier in the evening, then a blood-soaked Mavis, regaining consciousness at the murder scene, her prints and blood at the scene and more: it’s not looking good for Eve’s best friend. Eve has to arrest Mavis, and she is charged with murder, but Roark offers his top-class legal team and pays bail. Eve is absolutely convinced that Mavis is innocent and, despite a clear conflict of interest, leads the investigation: her boss has total confidence in her impartiality.

With the very able Officer Peabody assisting her, Eve questions witnesses to the altercation, any of whom could have motive for murder. But then, a link between her two cases is revealed: a dangerous new illegal substance, possibly from an off-planet source, with anti-aging and energising properties, increasing sex drive but also causing violent mood swings and lack of control, a dangerous drug that is fatal with prolonged use.

Further investigation sends Eve looking for a missing dancer whose body, when found, shows traces of the drug. When the news of these three similar deaths, for two of which Mavis has strong alibis, doesn’t convince the Prosecuting Attorney to drop the case, Eve goes to her friendly Channel 75 journalist, Nadine Furst to give it a push.

And in the background, Eve’s wedding to Roark looms, for which distractions like hair, skin, makeup, flowers and dress fittings keep her from proving Mavis innocent by proving someone else guilty, while Peabody is succumbing to the charms of Illegals Lieutenant, Jake T Casto.

Roark gets to see his Lieutenant in action, and even assists with a bit of lock-picking. The third book of this series is cleverly plotted and Robb’s characters already have plenty of appeal, and there’s an exciting climax leading to the final reveal.

It’s an interesting exercise to read, almost thirty years after it was written, a novel set, at time of writing, over sixty years into the future: some of the technology has clearly been surpassed, but Robb did predict, in 1996, police wearing bodycam and s version of bitcoin. Rapture in Death is eagerly anticipated.
