Glory in Death is the second story in J.D. Robbs (Nora Roberts) "in Death"-series.

The DeBlass case is now a few months ago. Roarke and Eve have started a serious relationship and Roarke would like to have Eve as his partner but she doesn't dare to show her feelings for him.
 

Another homicide has happened. Somebody has slashed the throat of the famous Prosecuting Attorney Cicely Towers.  Her corpse was found in a very disreputable part of the town.

Eve is primary in this case because her Commander was a good friend of Towers. A real slimy reporter makes this job like hell for her because she doesn't have a suspicions or a reason for the murder.

And again somebody tries to make Roarke part of the case and this is a problem for Eve. Then a second woman is murdered at the same method. This time the victim is the famous actress Yvonne Metclaf. Eve has found out that from the first victim the murderer has taken an umbrella and this corpse wears only one shoe. Why does the murderer collect souveniers by his victims?

In private life Eve and Roarke also have problems. Roarke is in love with her and wants to hear the words from Eve too but she is not sure if she wants a longer affair with him.

So he offers a ultimatum:  He wants all from her or nothing.

Eve thinks the murderer kills only famous women. So she plays the bait. She reconciles with Roarke because she can't live without him and she is in the news as often as possible. But somehow this plan works differently to how Eve wants it because a third woman is murdered only because she had worn the rain coat from Nadine Furst, the woman who made all the stories about her on TV.

So the murderer had choosen Nadine as his next victim.

The time comes closer because Eve wants to get the killer before he murders another woman. Why does he slash the throats of all the victims. Why does
he collect souveniers?

This case is not an easy job, however Eve is the best police lieutenant in New York in the year 2058. And also this time she won't stop until she has found the
guilty person.

Another exciting and masterly written story.  I can't wait to read "Immortal in Death", the third story in this series.
