He is an expert with the latest technology...a madman with the mind of a genius and the heart of a killer. He quietly stalks his prey. Then he haunts the police with cryptic riddles about the crimes he is about to commit--always solved moments too late to save his victims' lives. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas found the first victim butchered in his own home. The second lost his life in a vacant luxury apartment. The two men had little in common. Both suffered unspeakable torture before their deaths. And both had ties to an ugly secret of ten years past--a secret shared by none other than Eve's new husband, Roarke.
Synopsis:
Eve is stunned by the vicious nature of a series of murders--and haunted by the cryptic riddles left for her by the killer. The crimes are clearly related, but the investigation stalls until Eve discovers a common link between the victims: her new husband, Roarke.

When I first started reading Nora Roberts it was because she wrote romance. I gave her In Death Series a shot because she had quickly become my favorite writer. I read Survivor In Death first without realizing that it was the 20th book in the series. I was immediately drawn into the book and couldn't set it down. I then went on a hunt to find the books that came first. I read the first five and recently finished Vengeance in Death. I have to say that the growing relationship between Roarke and Eve is definately part of what's kept me coming back to this series as often as I can. The usually bad-tempered (at least towards Eve) Summorset played a large part in this particular novel. It was very intriguing to watch how Eve fought to keep the man that she's not particularily fond of out of jail. I don't want to give away too much but Roarke is definately a large part of the investigative process. It never ceases to amaze me as to what Ms. Roberts has up her sleeve. I can't wait to continue the series just so I can find out where the next homicide will take the Death clan.
