Publisher's summary

The brand-new thriller in the Sunday Times best-selling series

For a homicide cop, murder often started the day. For the mixed-race female sloppily wrapped in a tarp and stuffed in a construction site dumpster, it had surely ended hers.

Lt. Eve Dallas hasn't even arrived at work when her first call of the day comes in. Alva Quirk - 46 years old, sidewalk sleeper - was beaten to death with a crowbar. Known to the local cops for handing out origami flowers to anyone who gives her change, Alva was well-liked, but with no fixed address, no job and no family, there's no one to remember her.

Eve has barely had time to examine the crime scene when her second victim of the morning is discovered just a block away. Make that second and third. Jane Doe - a well-dressed young mother and her baby shot and buried over 40 years ago.

Two very different victims in the same location with no one to claim them. Coincidence? Or does the history of the site hold the answer? To uncover the truth, Eve must delve into a world of family businesses, Russian mobsters and shady dealings. These two women may have been forgotten in their lifetimes, but Eve Dallas won't let them be forgotten in death

Never Fails

As usual, Nora Roberts has created yet another installation that breathes further light into the characters and the world created.

Forgotten in Death

I have loved all but one of the In Death series and that was only because the storyline made me feel physically ill (mission accomplished).

Susan Ericksen is just the best narrator out there for my money. If there are narrator awards she should win one every year.
