"The incomparable J. D. Robb presents the latest moving and suspenseful novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling Eve Dallas series. In a decrepit, long-empty New York building, Lieutenant Eve Dallas's husband begins the demolition process by swinging a sledgehammer into a wall. When the dust clears, there are two skeletons wrapped in plastic behind it. He summons his wife immediately-and by the time she's done with the crime scene, there are twelve murders to be solved. The place once housed a makeshift shelter for troubled teenagers, back in the mid-2040s, and Eve tracks down the people who ran it. Between their recollections and the work of the force's new forensic anthropologist, Eve begins to put names and faces to the remains. They are all young girls. A tattooed tough girl who dealt in illegal drugs. The runaway daughter of a pair of well-to-do doctors. They all had their stories. And they all lost their chance for a better life. Then Eve discovers a connection between the victims and someone she knows. And she grows even more determined to reveal the secrets of the place that was called The Sanctuary-and the evil concealed in one human heart. "-- Provided by publisher.

A little light action and futurism with your romance submitted by cherylo on June 14, 2014, 10:13am For those like me who do not read straight romance novels, J. D. Robb is a pseudonym for romance industry powerhouse Nora Roberts. The near-future SF elements are light and breezy, the police-procedural plot is engaging, and the entertainment value is palpable. A wonderful summer beach read for the slightly to deeply nerdy.
concealed in death submitted by a2sue on July 4, 2014, 12:19am concealed in death is a fun summer mystery read.
Still good even after so many books submitted by ValerieL on June 24, 2019, 5:50pm This is book #38 in the series and yet it's still engaging, interesting, and a great mystery. Who killed all these girls? J.D. Robb weaves a twisted story of supposed redemption, second chances, and a home for runaways. As always Eve Dallas will sort it out. And she does so brilliantly. It's not one of my favorites simply because of the specific subject matter, but it is very well written.
