Virtual reality at the center of a suspicious-death investigation

Three apparent suicides—a brilliant engineer, a lawyer, and a politician—share no obvious connection, but Lieutenant Eve Dallas finds reason to question the verdicts. Autopsies uncover small brain burns, leading her investigation toward virtual-reality gaming and the possibility that its technology has been used to manipulate the victims’ minds. The setup brings together a police mystery, a speculative technological threat, and the romance-suspense classification of this installment in the In Death series. The description leaves the cause of the deaths unresolved, placing the investigation’s central question at the intersection of technology and murder.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in police investigations with a speculative technology element
  • Those seeking romance-suspense fiction centered on Lieutenant Eve Dallas
  • Readers curious about virtual reality as part of a crime mystery

Book overview

Lieutenant Eve Dallas delves into the world of virtual reality gaming to stop a sadistic killer in this In Death novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb.

They died with smiles on their faces. Three apparent suicides: a brilliant engineer, an infamous lawyer, and a controversial politician. Three strangers with nothing in common--and no obvious reasons for killing themselves. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas finds the deaths suspicious. And her instincts pay off when autopsies reveal small burns on the brains of the victims.

Was it a genetic abnormality or a high-tech method of murder? Eve's investigation turns to the provocative world of virtual reality games--where the same techniques used to create joy and desire can also prompt the mind to become the weapon of its own destruction...
