Book #63

Start with Naked in Death. NYSPD lieutenant Eve Dallas never knows what to expect when she gets word of a body. It could be an elderly man who made the mistake of climbing a ladder in slippery footwear. And the next call could be a wealthy biotech executive beaten to death in his home office-but what was Larry Chu's mistake? The victim's corpse is so mangled and damaged it's hard to believe a lone, unarmed assailant could have managed it. The killer was clearly unnaturally strong-and smart enough to find a way into Chu's highly secure building. The excessive violence leads Dallas to conclude that this was a deeply personal act, born of a rage that she can't excuse but can understand thanks to her own traumatic past. And though the motive seems rooted in heated emotion rather than cold hard cash, she can't ignore the suspicious bank account in the Cayman Islands, or the shadowy company Chu worked for. The mystery only grows when it turns out Chu isn't the only victim.
