Amazon.com Review Streetwise cop Eve Dallas and her trusty sidekick Peabody face a methodical killer in this latest addition to the In Death series by J.D. Robb, better known as the bestselling author Nora Roberts. In the late 21st century, on the streets of New York City, a street sleeper is found murdered, his diseased heart removed with surgical precision. His death would typically drop to the bottom of a list of senseless and inexplicable killings, but Lieutenant Dallas, who "would stand for the dead and the living," is not about to let that happen. When her research uncovers similar crimes in several cities that were dropped under mysterious circumstances, Dallas knows she's facing a killer cruel enough to prey on the weakest in society and powerful enough to conspire an extensive coverup. To complicate matters further, Dallas faces an equally troubling threat to her career when she's linked to the death of a fellow cop. Now she must fight to restore her good name as well as track down the killer. In Conspiracy in Death, Roberts creates a futuristic world of evil that Eve Dallas negotiates through tough talk and brute force. While Robb crafts the crimes with great care, she assumes a familiarity with the characters that new readers will lack. But fans of the In Death series and newcomers alike will enjoy the thrill of the chase as Eve Dallas sets out to get her man. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien
Product Description The #1 New York Times bestselling series featuring police lieutenant Eve Dallas.

One of my most favorite in the series August 27, 2010 ejaygirl (Greensboro NC USA) This was the toughest challenge of all for Eve, given that her very identity was at risk. I found this to be poignant and relatable as so many of us define ourselves by our careers. Must admit that this one brought me to tears. If you have found yourself to not be a big fan of Eve Dallas, the insights learned here may change your perspective. Conspiracy is one of my favorites in the series.
Always a great read August 7, 2010 Diane E. Cooper (Allenstown, NH USA) I have every one of the Eve dallas series and watch for the next one! Have even re-read the entire series. Gave the first book - Naked in Death to a friend and she has also read the whole series.
Never a dull moment with Eve, Roarke and friends!
good read April 9, 2010 ALANNA L MILLER (SCOTTSDALE,AZ) love eve dallas...j.d.robb does a great joy with all descriptions in this book..easy and enjoyable read.
Eve Fights Back, More Human and Better than Ever January 23, 2010 Karen Holtz (Woodside, New Jersey) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is another chapter in the continuing story of Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her husband, Roarke along with the cast of supporting characters: Feeney, Peabody, McNab, Dr. Mira, Mavis, Nadine, Summerset, et al-in the year 2059.
Eve and Peabody are called to the grisly murder scene of a sidewalk sleeper. Someone had stolen the corpse's heart. When the two arrive on the scene, not only do they have to confront the body, but officer Ellen Bowers, who has it in for Eve.
As Eve and Peabody begin working the murder other homeless dropouts are found dead, with various organs sliced out by a first class surgeon. But organ-legging has been obsolete for decades, because of cheaper, better, artificial replacements. So the crimes don't seem to make any sense. As Eve worries about this, Bowers weaves her web to destroy her. An internal investigation based on Bowers' complaints ends with Eve's suspension. Gone is her shield, her identity.
Ms. Robb may have gone a little more scifi this time, with the discussions of future medical procedures and advanced artificial organs and all, but she's still given her readers a story that will keep them burning the midnight oil. Also, it was nice that we get to see Eve rely on the help of her husband and her friends, rather than to try and take on all her burdens herself. It made her appear more human, more identifiable.
Suspenseful & Exciting November 27, 2009 K.M. (Central Ohio) In this 8th book in the In Death series J.D. Robb doesn't disappoint her fans! I fell right into this book as it takes place only a few weeks after the previous book. & It keeps me involved in the story line. I recommend you to give this series a try.
