Two novels by #1 "New York Times" bestselling author J. D. Robb"Calculated in Death"
On Manhattan s Upper East Side, a woman lies dead at the bottom of a brownstone s basement steps, stripped of all her valuables. Most cops might call it a mugging gone wrong, but Lieutenant Eve Dallas knows better.A well-off accountant and a beloved wife and mother, Marta Dickenson doesn t seem the type to be on anyone s hit list. But when Eve and her partner, Peabody, find blood inside the brownstone, she knows Marta s murder is the work of a killer who s trained, yet not professional or smart enough to remove all the evidence. Eve learns that on the day of her murder Marta was assigned to work on three audits, and begins to suspect that she was killed to cover up fraudulent activity. Eve is good at catching criminals, not crunching numbers, but luckily, she has her billionaire husband, Roarke, to figure out which companies in Marta s files aren t on the up-and-up.When someone steals the files from Marta s office, Eve must immerse herself in Roarke s world of big business to figure out who s cruel and callous enough to hire a hit on an innocent woman. And as the killer s violent streak starts to escalate, Eve knows she has to draw him out, even if it means using herself as bait...."Thankless in Death"
The year 2060 is drawing to a close, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It s a time for loved ones to come together. But sometimes the deepest hatreds seethe within the closest relationships, and blood flows faster than water....For Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD, the job is a useful reminder of what she has to be grateful for this season. Hosting Roarke s big Irish family for the holiday may be challenging, but it s a joyful improvement on her own dark childhood. Other couples aren t as lucky as Eve and Roarke.The Reinholds, for example, are lying on the floor of their Downing Street apartment, stabbed and bludgeoned almost beyond recognition. Those who knew them are stunned and even more heartbroken by the overwhelming evidence that they were murdered by their own son. Twenty-six-year-old Jerry hadn t exactly made a good impression on all the bosses who fired him or the girlfriend who dumped him but they didn t think he was capable of this. Turns out Jerry is not only capable of brutality but taking a liking to it. With the money he s stolen from his parents, and a long list of grievances, he intends to finally make his mark on the world.Eve and her team already know the who, how, and why of this murder. What they need to pinpoint is where Jerry s going to strike next."
