Product Description:
The new novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series.
Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still a place of many cultures and great divides. But as ever, some murders receive more attention than others-especially those in which the victim is a prominent businessman, found in his Park Avenue apartment, tied to the bed-and strangled- with cords of black velvet.
It doesn't surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anders's scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation to the public-and of humiliation to his family. But while people in the city are talking about it, those close to Anders aren't so anxious to do the same. With some help from her billionaire husband, Roarke, Eve's soon knocking on doors-or barging through them-to find answers.
But the facts don't add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn't struggle. The security breach in the apartment indicates that the killer was someone known to the family, but everyone's alibi checks out. Was this a crime of passion in a kinky game gone wrong-or a meticulously planned execution? It's up to Dallas to solve a case in which strangers may be connected in unexpected, and deadly, ways.

Rating:  - A Hitchcockian feel not everyone will like.
When Eve is called to a homicide on Park Avenue, she finds herself in the bedroom of Thomas Anders, sports fanatic and the head of Anders Worldwide.

Unfortunately, Anders's life was cut short. His body was found by his House Manager (housekeeper); each arm and leg tied to either the headboard or footboard with ... Read More

When I happened upon Naked In Death and finished, I was hooked. I immediately started to purchase all the books in order and could not stop.I did not think when I first read the synopsis of Naked In Death that I would be interested in a futuristic police/romance book of any kind. Boy, was I wrong. I have read each book at least ten times (sounds sick I know) but each time I read them, it's as if I am reading them for the first time. I am anxiously awaiting the November releases. My only wish for Eve ... Read More

As usual, J D Robb has done it again. This is another great addition to the "Death" collection.
Rating:  - One Step Away from Plagerism.
This book is just an extension of Stranger on a Train. Which is mentioned in the book, so you can't call fowl.
It depicts what would've happened if the second person completed their task instead of balking. That might have been interesting, but I so figured it out by the 3rd chapter.
Good read if you've nothing better to do.
