Creation In Death - by J. D. Robb
In "Creation In Death," the New York Police Department (NYPD) Lieutenant Eve Dallas faces a serial killer who stalks young women in the city. The killer chooses his victims from a certain age group, color, race and gender. When it becomes chillingly clear to Eve that she herself could be the ultimate target of the serial killer, she decides to finish him once and for all.
It is 2060 and the serial killer is back in the city after an absence of nine years. The media dubs the killer as "Groom" as he used to put silver rings on the fingers of his victims. Once Eve finds the body of a young brunette in the city's East River Park area. The body was artfully positioned and marked with the signs of prolonged torture and pain. She soon realizes that the body was related to a nine year’s old unsolved case. Eve realizes that the young brunette was employed by her billionaire husband, Roarke. The victim was washed in products from Roarke's stores and was laid out on a sheet manufactured by his company.
The killer resumes his horrific acts of torture, kidnapping and murdering young women in the city. Eve, who has earlier served as a detective in the frustrating investigations assumes a lead role in this case. The new victims of the killer were all employees of Roarke Enterprises and looked like Eve. Eve works to outwit the killer. She keeps her husband happy and prepares herself for the killer's next round of attack.
Nora Roberts is very profilic under her Robb pseudonym in this mystery detective series. The book has a wonderful mix of suspense, sex, forensic investigations and heroic deeds. Robb nicely explores the emotional relationship between Eve and her surrogate father and mentor, Feeney. The story swiftly cuts from investigations to the killer's progress with his victims.
