Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
Ancient church rituals meet cutting- edge crime solving in the latest novel in the #1 New York Times–bestselling series that’s “Law & Order: SVU—in the future” (Entertainment Weekly).
In the year 2060, sophisticated investigative tools can help catch a killer. But there are some questions even the most advanced technologies cannot answer.
Ridley Pearson has praised J. D. Robb’s suspense as “taut” and “nerve-jangling.” Her latest thriller sets a new standard for suspense, as the priest at a Catholic funeral mass brings the chalice to his lips—and falls over dead.
When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained potassium cyanide, she’s determined to solve the murder of Father Miguel Flores, despite her discomfort with her surroundings. It’s not the bodegas and pawnshops of East Harlem that bother her, though the neighborhood is a long way from the stone mansion she shares with her billionaire husband, Roarke. It’s all that holiness flying around at St. Christobal’s that makes her uneasy.
A search of the victim’s sparsely furnished room reveals little— except for a carefully hidden religious medal with a mysterious inscription, and a couple of underlined Bible passages. The autopsy reveals more: faint scars of knife wounds, a removed tattoo—and evidence of plastic surgery, suggesting that “Father Flores” may not have been the man his parishioners had thought. Now, as Eve pieces together clues that hint at gang connections and a deeply personal act of revenge, she believes she’s making progress on the case. Until a second murder—in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers—knocks the whole investigation sideways. And Eve is left to figure out who committed these unholy acts—and why.

• A Heavenly Highlight For Favorite Author J. D. Robb
21 February, 2010
"On the sidewalk, people bustled by. On the street, traffic chugged. The air buzzed with the sound of them, of business, of busy, of life, while Lopez stood quietly studying Eve's face.
"'Why do you do what you do? Every day. It must take you places most can't look. Why do you? Why are you a cop?'
"'It's what I am.' Weird, she realized, that she could stand with a man she barely knew, one she couldn't yet eliminate as a suspect, and tell him. 'It's not just that someone has to look, even though that's just the way it is. It's that I have to look.'
"'A calling.' Lopez smiled. 'Not so different from mine.'
She let out a short laugh. 'Well.'
"We both serve, Lieutenant. And to serve we each have to believe in what some call the abstract. You in justice and in order. In law. Me, in a higher power and the laws of the Church.'
"'You probably don't have to kick as many asses in your line.'"

• Another Good Addition To The Series...
17 February, 2010
This is another good addition to the series, but doesn't measure up to the last three (Innocent, Creation, and Strangers). Those three had excellent plotlines that were filled with tension - page-turners 'til the end. This one was interesting, but didn't have the tension of the others. I enjoyed the banter/relationships between the main and secondary characters (a definite strength of the author), but the mystery didn't keep me as interested, and there wasn't enough of a relationship focus (between Eve and Roarke) to keep me as invested in the story. Overall, it was a good read, but suffered from the comparison to the previous three. Hopefully the next one will regain the momentum.
