In 2061 New York City, Lt. Eve Dallas confronts the thin line between advanced technology and primal terror as the #1 New York Times-bestselling crime thriller series continues.
Donald Quinland was a husband and father, a teacher and writer. Now, on a dark cobblestoned street where his naked, beheaded body has been discarded like trash, Lt. Eve Dallas wonders what happened during the nineteen hours since he went missing. Forensic evidence indicates that the killer had medical knowledge—could this be the result of illegal organ harvesting, or some sick experiment? Or does the atrocity of the crime suggest a personal vendetta?
After speaking with the grieving family, Eve and her partner visit Columbia and Barnard, where the late professor taught. In these Ivy League halls filled with sharp and occasionally devious minds, it isn’t so easy to get at the truth—and among Manhattan’s elite doctors and scientists, God complexes are an occupational hazard.
J.D. Robb is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series and the pseudonym for #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts. The futuristic suspense series stars Eve Dallas, a New York City police lieutenant with a dark past. Initially conceived as a trilogy, readers clamored for more of Eve and the mysterious Roarke. Stolen in Death (St. Martin's Press, February 2026) will be the 62nd entry in the series.
Eve Dallas doesn't get a break, being called out to a headless body before even having a chance to write up her last case. This is not a mystery; we know from the beginning who the killer is and why. But the good, solid police work, and the interactions between familiar characters carries the book.
A solid entry in the long-running series.
