Lieutenant Eve Dallas must outwit a serial killer known as The Groom who has escaped her grasp before—one who is now killing again. Stephen King praises the book as “an authentic page turner, with Eve Dallas—tough as nails and still sexy as hell—pitted against one of the year’s creepiest super villains.”

Praise for Creation in Death:

“Whether she writes as J. D. Robb or under her own name, I love Nora Roberts. She is a woman who just doesn’t know how to tell a bad story. Creation in Death is an authentic page turner, with Eve Dallas—tough as nails and still sexy as hell—pitted against one of the year’s creepiest super villains. If you haven’t read Robb, this is a great place to start.”  —Stephen King
 
“All the elements of a terrific police procedural coupled with gut-searing emotional drama and in-your-face characters that only a writer of Nora Roberts’ caliber can deliver.” —David Baldacci

“Compelling characters, absorbing mysteries and a wonderful send of both time and place, J. D. Robb’s ‘In Death’ novels are can’t-miss pleasures.” —Harlan Coben

“Anchored by terrific characters, sudden twists that spin the whole narrative on a dime, and a thrills-to-chills ratio that will raise the neck hairs of even the most jaded reader, the J. D. Robb books are the epitome of great popular fiction.” —Dennis Lehane

“There’s no such thing as too much Nora Roberts. All the books are good, and they keep getting better. Creation in Death, written in her J. D. Robb persona, is a complete pleasure. Wonderful!” —Robert B. Parker
 
“Creation in Death is a witty, dark, page-turning tale of futuristic crime fighting. Raymond Chandler meets Blade Runner meets Silence of the Lambs. The techno-toys may change, but evil never does.” —Jonathan Kellerman

“J. D. Robb (you-know-who!) has written a taut, nerve-jangling thriller that draws the reader in from the start and rolls you over the dancing ball bearings of a futuristic police procedural that moves seamlessly and unrelentingly forward. The quality of the prose and the sharpness of the dialogue will delight and even surprise the reader. I know it did me. AS IF she needed it: but now she has yet another loyal fan.” —Ridley Pearson
