Creation in Death
When the body of a young brunette is found in East River Park, artfully positioned and marked by signs of prolonged and painful torture, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is catapulted back to a case nine years earlier.

Chances are, The Groom is working up to the biggest challenge of his illustrious careerโabducting a woman who will test his skills and who promises to give him days and days of pleasure before she dies: Eve.

Was this a crime of passionโor a carefully planned execution? It's up to Dallas to solve this sensational case in which those who seem to be intimates sometimes guard secrets from each otherโand strangers may be connected in unexpected, and deadly, ways...
