Idgie Says: A nice hearty sized hardcover to sink into on these cold February days. Take a gander at Nora Roberts' slightly futuristic novels (this is her 42nd in the series!) - if you haven't already. This woman must not even breath she has so many books under two different names out there in the world. See the blurb below - a Nora Roberts book sells every 27 minutes on average. WOW!

New York Times bestselling author
J.D. Robb
In BROTHERHOOD IN DEATH,
Dennis
Mira just had two unpleasant surprises. First, he learned that his
cousin Edward was secretly meeting with a real estate agent about their
late grandfather’s magnificent
West Village brownstone, despite the promise they both made to keep it
in the family. Then, when he went to the house to confront Edward about
it, he got a blunt object to the back of the head.
Luckily Dennis is married to Charlotte Mira, the NYPSD’s top profiler and a good friend of Lieutenant Eve Dallas. When the two arrive on the scene, he explains that the last thing he saw was Edward in a chair, bruised and bloody. When he came to, his cousin was gone, with barely a trace.
As a former lawyer, judge, and senator, Edward Mira mingled with the elite and crossed paths with criminals, making enemies on a regular basis. Like so many politicians, he also made some very close friends behind closed—and locked—doors. But a badge and a billionaire husband can get you into places others can’t go, and Eve intends to shine some light on the dirty deals and dark motives behind the disappearance of a powerful man, the family discord over a multimillion-dollar piece of real estate . . . and a new case that no one saw coming.

J. D. Robb’s In Death series is one of the longest-running suspense series currently being published, and February 2016 marks the publication of the forty-second installment, BROTHERHOOD IN DEATH (Berkley Hardcover; February 2, 2016; $27.95).

How
did this beloved bestselling series come to be? Roberts writes
quickly, and a pseudonym offered her the opportunity to reach a new
group of readers, but she wanted to write something different
than she had been. She’d toyed with the idea of setting something in
the near-future, and the
In Death series was born.
The
tough Lieutenant Eve Dallas was at the heart of the series – a strong
heroine with a dark past. The gripping and suspenseful
In Death series explores the
relationships that Eve shares with her husband Roarke, her colleagues,
and her close friends, as well as her quick wit, snappy dialogue, and
inside jokes. The
In Death books, at the root, are stories
about good conquering evil, family, and love, the hallmarks of a Roberts
or Robb novel, and part of the reason that her storytelling has
garnered her one of the largest and most dedicated fan bases in the
world.
