In Death #63
Fury in Death
Not yet published
Expected 8 Sep 26In the new crime thriller from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author, Lt. Eve Dallas journeys into the darkness where murder is born…
NYSPD homicide detective Eve Dallas never knows what to expect when she gets word of a body. It could be an elderly man who made the mistake of climbing a ladder in slippery footwear. And the next call could be a wealthy biotech executive beaten to death in his home office—but what was Larry Chu’s mistake?
The victim’s corpse is so mangled and damaged it’s hard to believe a lone, unarmed assailant could have managed it. The killer was clearly unnaturally strong—and smart enough to find a way into Chu’s highly secure building. Most of all, whoever did this was very, very angry.
The excessive violence leads Dallas to conclude that this was a deeply personal act, born of a rage that she can’t excuse but can understand thanks to her own traumatic past. And though the motive seems rooted in heated emotion rather than cold hard cash, she can’t ignore the suspicious bank account in the Cayman Islands, or the shadowy, profit-hungry company Chu worked for. The mystery only grows when it turns out Chu isn’t the only victim—and Dallas will need to tear through one layer of secrecy after another to reveal what lies behind this explosion of fury...

Review of advance copy received from Edelweiss+
Received an ARC courtesy of Edelweiss.plus.
I feel like I start my reviews of the In Death books in the same way. Despite the more than sixty novels in this series, I enjoy revisiting the characters. The reader knows the culprit from the prologue, so we are following along during Eve's investigation. I do slightly prefer when it is more of a mystery.
For sensitive readers, the deaths in the book are violent. I skimmed over those sections. There were enough domestic scenes to balance some of this.

This is the 63rd book in the 'In Death' series and I am still thoroughly entertained by them, this one being no exception. In this outing Eve must find a man who is brutally killing the executives of a bio-tech company. The recurring characters feel like friends and this book gives me a good balance of crime solving and mystery and Eve's personal life. As always, I recommend starting with "Naked in Death", the first in the series. Note that while these books are set in the near future, they are mysteries (with a touch of romance) and not science fiction. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the digital advance reading copy. 5/5 stars

March 9, 2026I received an ARC of this from Edelweiss.
This was less mystery - at least for the reader who knows the killer from early on - and more about finding long denied justice in the face of power, money, and influence.
It was also all about family - those you are born into, those you find, and those you make.
Long time fans will enjoy this as another solid addition to the series and the revisiting of some rarely seen characters.

When does a lack of justice permit vengeance? For NYSPD Lieutenant Eve Dallas, the answer is to pursue justice instead. For everyone, even the complicit dead.
Another solid entry in the long-running near-future mystery-suspense series.
