Salvation in death - j. d. robb

Ancient church rituals meet cutting-edge crime-solving in the latest novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series.

In the year 2060, sophisticated investigative tools can help catch a killer.

But there are some questions even the most advanced technologies cannot answer.

Ancient church rituals meet cutting-edge crime-solving in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series featuring NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas.

Seconds after partaking of wine during a Catholic funeral mass, Father Miguel Flores is dead on the altar.

Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained enough potassium cyanide to kill a rhino.

And though the East Harlem neighborhood is a long way from the stone mansion she shares with her billionaire husband Roarke, its the holiness flying around St.

Christobals that makes her uneasy.

The autopsy reveals faint scars of knife wounds, a removed tattoo--and evidence of plastic surgery suggesting Father Flores may not be the man his parishioners thought.

Now, as Eve pieces together clues that suggest identity theft, gang connections, and a deeply personal act of revenge, she hopes to track down whoever committed this unholy act.

Until a second murder--in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers--knocks the whole investigation sideways.
