About this ebook

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...

Ratings and reviews

she never fails or almost never fails to entertain. In thiscseries there has only been one that for some reason didnt hold my attention. This book is one of my favorites. Ive probably read it 30-40 times now as with most of this series.

Enjoying this series very much, but I would have really wished she'd tied up the ending with Jess.

Death by suicide and trying to figure out the villain. Who is controlling the suicide whims. Doesn't take long to figure it out. Not her best but still entertaining.
