"Far out futuristic"
They are two spoiled rich kids in their early twenties,
whose goals in life are to have enough fun and thrills so
they want to wake up the next morning. They were
overindulged
all their lives, given every advantage but in their twisted
psychopathic minds, that is not nearly enough for such
special specimens as themselves. Kevin and Lucien devise a
game with rules and points involving meeting women over
chat lines and using date rape drugs to live out their
fantasies. Their first victim dies of an overdose of the drugs and
Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD catches the case. She
quickly realizes there are two predators in their growing
crime spree but they have gone to unusual lengths to conceal
their identifies. Even with the help of her sexy and
powerful husband Roarke, she is not getting any closer to
putting the monsters inside a cage. It is going to take
more than fancy footwork to catch these perpetrators. Eve
will need all her brilliance, perhaps abetted by a miracle
or two. to apprehend this duo. This long running series remains fresh and entertaining
so that a person could believe that this book is the
beginning of the Eve Dallas-Roarke romantic mysteries. The
plot is a highly developed and fast paced futuristic police
procedural with plenty of punch. SEDUCTION IN DEATH is a
fast breezy read and part of the enjoyment comes from
hating the two antagonists who do not have one redeeming
quality between them. Harriet Klausner

This time, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is searching for a
Casanova killer with a deadly appetite for seduction...
SummaryDante had been courting his victim in cyberspace for weeks
before meeting her in person. A few sips of wine and a few
hours later, she was dead. The murder weapon: a rare,
unusually undetectable date-rape drug with a street value
of a quarter of a million dollars.
Lieutenant Eve Dallas is playing and replaying the clues in
her mind. The candlelight, the music, the rose petals
strewn across the bed--a seduction meant for his benefit,
not hers. He hadn't intended to kill her. But now that he
has, he is left with only two choices: He can either hole
up in fear and guilt, or he can start hunting
again...  Winner of the PEARL AWARD 2001 Honorable Mention - Best
