Strangers in Death Nora Roberts

Publisher Marketing: Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still a place of many cultures and great divides. And 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 for the public - and humiliation for his family. While everyone else in the city is talking about it, those close to Anders aren t so anxious to do so. Fortunately, because Dallas s billionaire husband, Roarke, happens to own the prime real estate where Anders s sporting-goods firm was headquartered, she has some help with access. Before long, she s knocking on doors - or barging through them - to look for the answers she needs. But the facts don t add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn t struggle. The security breach in the highly fortified apartment indicates that the killer was someone close to Anders, but everyone s alibi checks out, from the wife who was off in the tropics to the loving nephew who stands to inherit millions. Was this a crime of passion - or a carefully planned execution? It s up to Dallas to solve a sensational case where all involved guard secrets from one another - and strangers may be connected in unexpected, and deadly, ways. Nora Roberts is cool. - Stephen King" Review Citations: Library Journal Prepub Alert 10/01/2007 pg. 46 (EAN 9780399154706, Hardcover) Publishers Weekly 01/07/2008 pg. 38 (EAN 9780399154706, Hardcover) Romantic Times 02/01/2008 pg. 80 (EAN 9780399154706, Hardcover) Publishers Weekly Best Books 03/23/2009 pg. 18 (EAN 9780399154706, Hardcover) Contributor Bio:  Roberts, Nora Nora Roberts is a bestselling author of more than 209 romance novels.
