Product Description:
In the year 2060, cutting-edge investigative tools can help catch a killer. But there are some questions even the most advanced technologies cannot answer. . . .
At the most solemn moment of a Catholic funeral Mass, the priest brings the chalice to his lips. Seconds later, he is dead on the altar.
For the mourners packed into the pews, Father Miguel Flores's sudden demise is an unimaginable shock. When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained enough potassium cyanide to kill a rhino, she's prepared to plunge in and find out why, despite her discomfort with her surroundings. It's not the bodegas and pawnshops of East Harlem that bother her; it's all that holiness flying around St. Cristobal's that makes her uneasy.
The autopsy reveals scars from knife wounds, a removed tattoo, and evidence of plastic surgery, suggesting 'Father Flores' may not have been the man his parishioners thought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that suggest identity theft, gang connections, and a deeply personal act of revenge, she hopes to track down whoever committed this unholy act. Until a second murder - in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers - knocks the whole investigation sideways.
The way Eve sees it, vengeance may be the Lord's business, but if there's going to be any earthly justice in this case, it's up to her.

Rating:  - J D Robb ROCKS
I can't get enough of Eve Dallas, Roark , Shebody, Mcnabb and the rest of the gang. R D Robb doesnt disapoint in this chapter of Eve.
Rating: - Series Quality Holding Strong
I just can't get enough of Eve Dallas and Roarke! This probably falls into my top ten favorites of Robb's In Death series. The mysteries keep getting more intricate, as this one fully illustrates. A mystery within a mystery. A Catholic priest drops dead during the consecration of the mass. He was poisoned. Who would poison a priest? Better yet, who would pretend to be a priest? Eve must delve into a tight-knit community to unravel the crime.

Rating:  - Incorrect details set the wrong tone
Nora Roberts did just enough research on Catholicism to get it WRONG. She sets the tone by describing the priest during the funeral Mass--and promptly shows her ignorance. She uses the right phrases in the wrong ways, and irritated me from the start. I spent the entire book searching for her reason for writing Chapter 1 the way she did--and found none. The fact that the priest died in the middle of the Mass was actually irrelevant to the plot. It may have been an attempt to restrict the list of potential ... Read More
Rating: - well received
Both the condition and timing of receiving this book were great. The Post Offfice took it's time delivering it, maybe because it was Christmas, but it was mailed the next day. I've read all Robb's other books and was looking forward to this one. I wasn't disappointed. Seemed a bit lighter than some of the others, but still good.
Rating: - Salvation in Death
Not sure if I am reviewing service or book. Service was excellent - book in excellent condition, packaged well and received promptly. As for the book - I collect every title (and I have ALL of JDRobb's) that is issued.
Love the series and am always looking for next one out.
