NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas keeps the streets of a near-future New York City safe in this extraordinary series. But even she makes mistakes, and is haunted by those she couldn't save-and the killers she couldn't capture. When the body of a young brunette is found in East River Park, artfully positioned and marked by signs of prolonged and painful torture, Eve is catapulted back to a case nine years earlier. The city was on edge from a killing spree that took the lives of four women in fifteen days, courtesy of a man the media tagged "The Groom"-because he put silver rings on the fingers of his victims.

When it turns out that the young brunette was employed by Eve's billionaire husband, Roarke, she brings him in on the case-a move that proves fitting when it becomes chillingly clear that the killer has made his attack personal. The victim was washed in products from a store Roarke owns, and laid out on a sheet his company manufactures.

With the Groom's monstrous return, Eve is determined to finish him once and for all. Familiar with his methods, Eve knows that he has already grabbed his next victim. Time is running out on another woman's life.

And chances are he's working up to the biggest challenge of his illustrious career-abducting a woman who will test his skills and who promises to give him days and days of pleasure before she dies: Eve.

Critical Praise

“All the elements of a terrific police procedural coupled with gut-searing emotional drama and in-your-face characters that only a writer of Nora Roberts’ caliber can deliver.”

––– David Baldacci

“Whether she writes as J.D. Robb or under her own name, I love Nora Roberts. She is a woman who just doesn’t know how to tell a bad story. Creation IN DEATH is an authentic page turner, with Eve Dallas—tough as nails and still sexy as hell—pitted against one of the year’s creepiest super villains.If you haven’t read Robb, this is a great place to start.”

––– Stephen King

“Anchored by terrific characters, sudden twists that spin the whole narrative on a dime, and a thrills-to-chills ratio that will raise the neck hairs of even the most jaded reader, the J.D. Robb books are the epitome of great popular fiction.”

––– Dennis Lehane

“There’s no such thing as too much Nora Roberts. All the books are good, and they keep getting better. Creation IN DEATH, written in her J.D. Robb persona, is a complete pleasure. Wonderful!”

––– Robert B. Parker

“Compelling characters, absorbing mysteries and a wonderful sense of both time and place, J.D. Robb’s ‘In Death’ novels are can’t-miss pleasures.”

––– Harlan Coben

“Creation IN DEATH is a witty, dark, page-turning tale of futuristic crime fighting. Raymond Chandler meets Blade Runner meets Silence of the Lambs. The techno-toys may change, but evil never does.”

––– Jonathan Kellerman

“J.D. Robb (you-know-who!) has written a taut, nerve-jangling thriller that draws the reader in from the start and rolls you over the dancing ball bearings of a futuristic police procedural that moves seamlessly and unrelentingly forward. The quality of the prose and the sharpness of the dialogue will delight and even surprise the reader. I know it did me. AS IF she needed it: but now she has yet another loyal fan.”
