Description: In New York City in 2059, someone is pursuing missing gems from a decades-old heist…someone who’s willing to kill for them. Sharp-witted and sexy, NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas is used to traveling in the shadowy corners outside the law. And in a future where crime meets cutting-edge technology, she will attempt to track down the diamonds once and for all—and stop the danger and death that have surrounded the jewels for years.
My Thoughts: A jewel theft more than 50 years earlier and the novel that is written about it are the keys to this Eve Dallas futuristic mystery.
Sam Gannon has written a best-selling novel about the jewel theft that brought her grandparents together more than fifty years earlier. The kicker is that one quarter of the diamonds were never recovered which excites modern day treasure hunters.
When Sam returns from a whirlwind book tour, she discovers the body of her friend and house sitter who was brutally murdered. Eve Dallas gets the case and soon has to look into who killed the house sitter and why.
The diamonds quickly become the motive requiring Eve, Roarke, Feeney and the rest of Eve's team to investigate a crime that occurred before any of them were born. A second murder, that of the woman who was Sam's housecleaner, adds to the mystery.
This was another excellent adventure in the In Death series. Roberts has also written HOT ROCKS which tells the story of the jewel theft and investigation into it which also details the romance of the couple who will become Sam's grandparents.
