Strangers in Death (In Death #26)

The new novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series.

Technology may be different in 2060 New York, yet the city is still a place of many cultures and great divides. But as ever, some murders receive more attention than others-especially those in which the victim is a prominent businessman, found in his Park Avenue apartment, tied to the bed-and strangled-with cords of black velvet.

It doesnt surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anderss scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation to the public-and of humiliation to his family. But while people in the city are talking about it, those close to Anders arent so anxious to do the same. With some help from her billionaire husband, Roarke, Eves soon knocking on doors-or barging through them-to find answers.

But the facts dont add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didnt struggle. The security breach in the apartment indicates that the killer was someone known to the family, but everyones alibi checks out. Was this a crime of passion in a kinky game gone wrong-or a meticulously planned execution? Its up to Dallas to solve a case in which strangers may be connected in unexpected, and deadly, ways.
