  • "The year is 2056. mood-altering drugs are legal, prostitution is licensed, virtual-reality games have replaced TV sets for entertainment and New York supercop Eve Dallas continues her sleuthing in Robb's fourth installment in the Death series (Naked in Death, Glory in Death, etc.). This time around, Eve has married her soul mate, Roarke, and is caught up in the puzzling suicide of a technician who's been working on Roarke's unfinished space resort. The young tech, Eve learns, had cheerfully hanged himself after a VR trip. Back on Earth, autopsies from two similar suicides reveal a pin-sized burn on the brains of the victims. All clues point to a deadly subliminal message in a VR toy?one that Roarke produces. This is sexy, gritty, richly imagined suspense. The fact that it is written by Nora Roberts under the pseudonym J.D. Robb is a tribute to her versatility."@en

Three strangers with nothing in common - and no obvious reasons for killing themselves. But police lieutenant Eve Dallas is immediately suspicious of the deaths.

  • "Sie alle sterben mit einem Lächeln im Gesicht. Doch die offensichtlichen Selbstmorde erwecken Zweifel in der gewieften Polizeibeamtin Eve Dallas. Durch ihre hartnäckigen Recherchen stösst sie auf ein geheimnisvolles virtuelles Spiel, das in einer der Firmen ihres angeblich unwissenden Ehemannes Roarke hergestellt wird und das die Welt unterwerfen soll. Unversehens wird Eve in einen teuflischen Machtkampf hineingezogen, dessen Mittelpunkt ihr Mann Roarke darstellt - und bei dem es nur einen Sieger geben kann ... J.D. Robb ist das Pseudonym der international höchst erfolgreichen Autorin Nora Roberts. Durch einen Blizzard entdeckte Nora Roberts ihre Leidenschaft fürs Schreiben: Tagelang fesselte sie 1979 ein eisiger Schneesturm in ihrer Heimat Maryland ans Haus. Um sich zu beschäftigen, schrieb sie ihren ersten Roman. Zum Glück, denn inzwischen zählt Nora Roberts zu den meistgelesenen Autorinnen der Welt. Auch in Deutschland sind ihre Bücher von den Bestsellerlisten nicht mehr wegzudenken."
