In the next installment in the In Death Series, NYPD Lieutenant Eve Dallas is in charge of investigating the seemingly unrelated murders of three people who only have one thing in common: they died with smiles on their faces, and they used virtual reality games to relax. Set in futuristic New York, the long-time fans of this series learns about yet more creative ways in which Robb's killers end their victims' lives. Once again, the neat characterizations of her protagonists make the book come alive, letting the reader emphasize with everything that happens to them.
