As though there's not enough to do in futuristic New York City circa 2060, now Lieutenant Eve Dallas has got a suspiciously dead cop on her hands. Before getting herself killed, the recent transplant from Hotlanta had also started up a fling with Dallas's good friend, just to further complicate matters. J.D. Robb delivers another action-packed thrill ride with PROMISES IN DEATH.
