In early spring of 2059, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called off planet to face a grueling ordeal—giving a seminar at the largest police conference of the year, to be held in a swanky resort. A resort which just happens to be owned by her husband, Roarke, of course.
Even though Eve can't quite see it that way, it's supposed to be at least partly a vacation. But work intrudes in the form of a bloody homicide, and Eve is off and running. The case is complicated by Eve's personal history with the victim—and by the killer's history with Roarke. As danger closes in and the body count rises, Eve must find a way to stop the cycle of violence and revenge, and shove the past back where it belongs.

"I like how Eve's softer, more emotional side is coming out in the later books in the In Death Series. Could've used more of it based in Ireland, but that's a personal preference, not a flaw.All in all a good read, hard to put the book down. "

" How on earth can I like the novellas as much as the books?? But I do. Of course I wish they were longer. :-) "
— Barbara, 1/30/2014" i love the big ending "
— Keira, 1/28/2014" An Eve Dallas novella - short and sweet, but with some big info about Eve's early years. "
— Sarah, 1/28/2014" Interesting, but again, it's not brain surgery. Mostly because the big bad was stereotypical. "
— S, 1/25/2014" Another good instalment in the in Death series. In this one Eve is off planet and works with another cop. I love this series. "
— Shelley, 1/24/2014" Short, quick, fun read. While I prefer the longer books, this one wasn't bad. It was interesting to learn of the possible connection between Roarke's and Eve's fathers. "
— Lidia, 1/19/2014" Even though I like these books a lot, it makes me sad that Nora Roberts' version of the future still features super prominent misogyny. Maybe she thinks we won't pick up on something more subtle? "
— Jessica, 1/15/2014" An short Eve Dallas novella finds Eve at a police conference at Rourke's resort off planet. When a retired police chief corners Eve telling her she's a disgrace to the badge because she married Rourke and asking her to turn him in, Eve naturally takes offense. His personal vendetta comes to a head when one of his bodyguards is murdered and Rourke is the prime suspect. As Eve aids the local police chief in solving the murder and the one that follows, she's convinced that the esteemed, retired police chief has more to do with it then he's letting on. Definitely a quick read being that it's a novella and although entertaining, not as good as the full novels. "
