What Naked in Death is about
In 2058, technology rules the world, and New York police lieutenant Eve Dallas lives for her job. Raised after a social worker found her roaming the streets as a child, she has spent more than ten years on the force, trusting her instincts to survive. Three young women have been brutally murdered, and when a senator's daughter is killed, a secret life of prostitution is revealed. The investigation pulls Eve into the circles of Washington politics and society.
Her prime suspect is Roarke, a suave, handsome Irishman with a mysterious past and one of the largest fortunes on the planet. Eve is warned to keep her distance, yet she finds his charm hard to resist. Fast-paced and gritty, it suits readers who like crime stories with a romantic edge.
