Great escapism mixing crime with a futuristic world. There are 26 (!) in the series, not all available over here yet but if you get hooked (which you should) then you have lots to keep you satisfied. The central duo are strong characters but it’s the advanced technology that makes these such fun. Here Eve has a new car which can move like a rocket and achieve a 15 ft vertical lift. Her colourful clothes and hairstyle are well thought out and the plot is non-stop excitement. With off planet venues from prisons to paradise, it’s “sheer entertainment” (Guardian).
Every cop gets angry when a police officer is killed. And Lieutenant Eve Dallas is no exception. But Amarylis Coltraine was also in a relationship with one of Eve's colleagues, so after Eve has delivered the terrible news to him, she throws every resource she has into finding the killer.
When she finds a link to the son of a criminal she and her husband Roarke had put behind bars, the case heats up even further. Alex Ricker was romantically involved with Amarylis ? did she leak information to him and then have a change of heart? Eve puts herself in danger to get to the truth ? but she can't prevent another death before she learns who betrayed both the criminal's son and the police officer he loved...
