I love powerful Lt. Eve Dallas and how the complex New York City crimes are solved. If you don't wanna bite her husband, don't read these books! Nora Robert's best writing is as JD Robb in this "In Death" series of some 30+ stories to date. I collect all of the JD Robb books, but skip the Roberts, whose stories are not as tight as those about Lt. Eve Dallas - ass kicker! If the future of New York City is like this, I fear these futuristic killers who are sneaky and complex.

Another excellent book by the master of the "who dunits". Eve is at her peak and Peabody is coming along quite nicely as they work to solve the mimic of historic murderers. Kept me guessing until the end(which is what I like). Roark and McNabb are there to help them out.

Set in the Summer of 2059, Lt. Eve Dallas becomes entangled in the deadly game of a vicious copycat killer.
A book in the futuristic series. Lt. Eve Dallas becomes entagled in the deadly mind game of a vicious copycat killer... Summer 2059. A man wearing a cap and a top hat approaches a prositute on a dark New York City street. Minutes later, the woman is dead. Left at the scene is a letter addressed to Lt. Eve Dalls, inviting her to play his game and unveil his identity. He signs it "Jack".
Eve tries to find out which high profile citizen is coping past high profile serial killers, like Jack the Ripper.
The novel takes place in the year 2059 and concerns a serial killer who knows his history. He has decided that killing LT. Eve Dallas will make him as famous as the original Jack the Ripper.
Gritty, fast-paced, well plotted, tight. Typical Robb, futuristic.
Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas encounters one of her most difficult cases in this latest offering from J. D. Robb, alter ego of bestselling author Nora Roberts. With the very first victim, Eve realizes that the killer stalking the streets of New York City isn't a run-of-the-mill serial murderer. The copycat executions are imitating the methods and victim choices of an ominous list of notorious serial killers, beginning with Jack the Ripper. And when the killer leaves a distinctive note at the crime scene, it's clear that he's targeting Eve personally--a fact that worries Roarke, Eve's shrewd husband.
Assisted by her aide, Peabody, Eve compiles a list of suspects that includes several high-profile possibilities. Their very prominence, however, complicates the investigation, for they have the power and influence to make the search difficult. All of the suspects are reluctant to cooperate but one of them is playing with Eve like a cat with a mouse by tempting her with crime scene notes and challenging her to find him. Can Eve stop him before he slaughters again? Or will his next victim be Eve herself?
Author Robb, a.k.a. Roberts, doesn't miss a beat in this police procedural thriller. The futuristic setting is rich with imaginative details; the cast of supporting characters offers an intriguing variety, while Eve and Roarke's relationship is layered with emotional intimacy and spiced with sex. Whether you're a faithful follower or new to the series, you won't be disappointed in the edge-of-the-seat suspense in Imitation In Death. Don't miss this one.
This time, Eve Dallas is being stalked by a futuristic "Jack the Ripper". This killer seems to know everything there is about well known serial killers of the past.
