Someone in the house.” She whispered it, like a secret. “Not a guest. Not. Waiting. A devil, it’s a devil! His face is a devil. My husband … He fell. He fell and the devil laughed. I don’t know. I don’t know. Please. I don’t know.” It’s cold, it’s wet, and it makes many, many people behind the wheels of vehicles behave like morons.” [6]

Was she dead? She felt like a ghost, untethered and insubstantial. She wandered. Puzzled, yes, but detached, and wondering if she’d reached heaven or hell." Something, something scraped like tiny fingernails on the edges of her mind—a need to run, to hide. But why? Why? She saw a hand reach for the knob. Was it her hand? Something was wrong with it. Blood and lilies. Something was wrong with the knob. It moved, sneaking just out of reach, right, left, up, down.Anthony was "cold, arrogant, egotistical," overly perfectionistic, domineering, a liar, and respected professionally but widely disliked. And though the locations where the shooter could have set up seem endless, the list of people with that particular skill set is finite: police, military, professional killer. As NY Lt. Eve Dallas and her billionaire husband Roarke are driving home, a young woman—dazed, naked, and bloody—suddenly stumbles out in front of their car.

The detectives put together a short list of possible targets – couples who buzzed during their interviews and warnings.

Her breathing shortened again. This time Eve gripped her hand before Del could interfere. “You’re safe, but you need to tell me what happened when you went up to bed.” She [Eve] rode down on the elevator, ignoring other passengers who seemed buzzed on Oscar talk, until one of the women stared at her.Description: The last In Death novella outside of the main series so far. It was incredibly intriguing – short but very well-paced. She works from home, looking at financials and identifying potential future targets from the guest list of a gala that all three victim-couples attended last year because that's where she thinks the perp is fishing. Obviously undeterred, the woman continued to chatter while digging in her rhino-sized bag. “Oh, I’m such a fan. I just have to have a picture with you.” There are 66 pieces in the In Death book series (67th and 68th on the way), 56 of which are considered primary books.
