Publisher's Summary

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' 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' 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.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Critic Reviews

"Concisely narrated with verve and humor by Susan Ericksen.... Her Irish accent for Roarke is uncannily believable as is the voice of a character who is suffering from a terrible cold. The production is engaging, and Ericksen's verbal nuances add drama to the novel." (AudioFile)

Strangers in death - very slow to start 🐌

I normally love all the books in the death series, by J.D Robb, however this book was very slow to start, which detracted from the exciting end.

The ending of this book was as thrilling as other books in the series. The twist with Susan and Ava, at the end was both amusing and exhilarating. Susan Erickson, in reading this book continues to do a fantastic job.😊

Strangers in Death. Book 26.

I really love Nora Roberts books, especially her "In Death" series. I love the characters and their developing relationships, especially the "Eve's" frustrated conversations with "Roake" & "Peabody" regarding the developing changes in Charles and Louise's lives. As always your rivetted, constantly wanting to know more, becoming more addicted and drawn to the characters in this futuristic world.
