    Book SynopsisTrade Review“Biological terrorism is stalking New York residents in the newest installment of Robb’s extraordinary In Death series. While the main plot is diabolical and chilling, what makes this book really compelling is having Eve Dallas make progress dealing with her past. After so many books, these characters feel like family, which makes their adventures resonate all the more.”—RT Book Reviews“While Robb serves up twists and turns in ample portions, the main attraction is still the character of Eve, who will win over readers with her ability to persevere in seeking a killer while coping with her personal demons.”—Publishers WeeklyMore Praise for the In Death series“Robb is a virtuoso.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer“It’s Law & Order: SVU—in the future.”—Entertainment Weekly “J. D. Robb’s In Death novels are can’t-miss pleasures.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben “Anchored by terrific characters, sudden twists that spin the whole narrative on a dime, and a thrills-to-chills ration that will raise the neck hairs of even the most jaded reader, the J. D. Robb books are the epitome of great popular fiction.”—New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane
