Divided in Death by J.D. RobbMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Forgotten how much I enjoy this series--Rourke, Lt Dallas,Eve, Peabody, MacNab, Feeney--NYC in 2050's and crime on this and other planets.! Here Homeland Security plays a major role and it is scary to think what that organization may evolve into. Here, we see a possible scenario--trying to protect our security but also allowing incredible crimes to be committed without any interference in the name of global protection. Four people murdered, innocent people set up to take the fall. But, not on Eve Dallas' watch--they picked the wrong company and its employees, one owned by Rourke. But they also picked the wrong town--Dallas and her crew handle murder in this part of the city. It would appear that the development of a cyber weapon is at the center of this convoluted who done it and the pace and twists keep everyone on their toes. Don't know how Robb keeps coming up with these tales but they never get old and her characters are old friends by now in book 18! She throws in fun futuristic facts about the city, too, such as the Flatiron being the last skyscraper left! I'd miss the Chrysler but it is nice that the first skyscraper is still standing. Would not want to live in a time when only the wealthy can eat real meat or drink real coffee, etc. Soydogs do nothing for me! Time to get some more of the In Deaths to read this summer for sure
