In this book, an outspoken female prosecutor is killed. The victim is a close friend of Eve's boss. One of the interesting elements of the book is Eve's conflict between office politics and what's best for resolving the case. The media is hard on the case - and the newly famous female detective. Her relationship with billionaire, Roarke, only increases the pressure. Much of the book focuses on the maturation of Eve and Roarke's relationship which has some rocky moments.
I also enjoyed the future setting. Manhattan in 2058 is an interesting place. (And everytime I think the gadgets are impossible, I remember my skepticism about a thing called cell phones when a client discussed them in 1983.) I'm looking forward to learning more about this familiar but not so familiar world.
"Glory In Death" continues the series' genre-bending ways. It is part-mystery, part-romance, and part-sci fi. Will it satisfy die-hard fans of each of the genres? Probably not, as one always seems to get in the way of the other. But for the rest of us, the mix provides a quick and entertaining read. It is surely enough to put the next installment, "Immortal In Death," on the "to be read" list.
