Framed in Death

fullDescription

Death imitates art in the brand-new crime thriller starring homicide cop Eve Dallas from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author J.D. Robb.

Manhattan is filled with galleries and deep-pocketed collectors who can make an artist's career with a wave of a hand. But one man toils in obscurity, his brilliance unrecognized while lesser talents bask in the glory he believes should be his. Come tomorrow, he vows, the city will be buzzing about his work.
Indeed, before dawn, Lt. Eve Dallas is speeding toward the home of the two gallery owners whose doorway has been turned into a horrifying crime scene overnight. A lifeless young woman has been elaborately costumed and precisely posed to resemble the model of a long-ago Dutch master, and Dallas plunges into her investigation.

     June 15, 2025
     Someone is stalking the streets of Lt. Eve Dallas's New York, intent on bringing new life to sex workers by snuffing out their old ones. In 2061, prostitutes are called licensed companions, and that's Leesa Culver's job description when she's accosted by a plausible-looking artist who wants to hire her as a model for the night. Before the night is over, she's been drugged, strangled, costumed, and posed as an uncanny replica of Vermeer'sGirl With a Pearl Earring. The shock of the crime is deepened by the murder the following night of licensed companion Bobby Ren, whose body is discovered at an art gallery entrance costumed and posed as Gainsborough'sBlue Boy. The killer clearly has an obsessive agenda, a rapid-fire timetable, and access to unlimited financial resources that have allowed him to commission expensive custom-made outfits for the victims. This last detail both marks his power and points to the way Dallas, her gazillionaire husband, Roarke, and her sidekick, Det. Delia Peabody, will track him down by methodically narrowing the field of consumers who've purchased the costly costumes. After identifying the guilty party two-thirds of the way through the story, they'll still face an uphill battle convicting a killer with no conscience, no respect for the law, and a budget that would easily cover the means to jump bail, remove his ankle tracker, and hire a private jet to escape to a foreign land with no extradition treaty. Robb keeps it all consistently absorbing by sweating every procedural detail along with her heroine. Only Dallas' climactic interrogation of her prisoner is a letdown, because it's perfectly obvious how she's going to wangle a confession out of him. High art meets low life in a tale a lot more sympathetic to the latter.

     NYPD Lieutenant Eve Dallas might not know much about art, but she is a veritable connoisseur when it comes to solving a murder. So when a disgruntled artist begins leaving dead bodies posed to replicate the figures in great works of art around New York City, Eve and her crack team of investigators know exactly what to do. While many artists know that they will suffer for their work, Eve plans on doing everything in her power to make sure the murderous artist who has made her city his new canvas pays for his crimes. Robb's (Bonded in Death, 2025) sixty-first polished-to-perfection entry in her wildly popular In Death series is another enticing mix of propulsive pacing, an enthralling story line that makes effective use of its art-world framing, and one of literature's most compelling couples, Eve and Roarke, whose red-hot personal chemistry still sizzles like nobody's business. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: It has been 30 years since Naked in Death, the first in the series, debuted. Since then Robb and literary twin Nora Roberts have gone on to sell more than 500 million copies of over 250 novels. This one will be similarly big.

     For Lieutenant Eve Dallas, death imitates art in the 61st futuristic police procedural/thriller of Robb's "In Death" series (following Bonded in Death). There is a serial killer on the prowl. Eve's investigation of the murders leads her deep into Manhattan's art scene, where galleries and collectors hold the cards to make or break an artist's future. Convinced that his talent remains unrecognized and unappreciated, the killer vows to make art that will have the whole city talking about his creations. After luring unsuspecting licensed companions with the promise of a huge payday, he assures them that all they have to do is pose while he paints their portrait. They soon realize that money is not worth the price they have to pay. Eve and her team follow obscure clues and unravel the case with the help of her security consultant and reformed art-thief husband, Roarke. VERDICT This is a fast-paced thriller balanced with familiar characters Robb's fans have come to love. The crime narrative is artfully crafted and perfect for mystery genre readers familiar with the series or discovering it for the first time.--Linsey Milillo
