J. D. Robb Celebrity in Death and Delusion in Death 2-in-1 Collection: Celebrity in Death, Delusion in Death

Publisher Marketing: Two novels by #1 "New York Times" bestselling author J. D. Robb"Celebrity in Death"Her career in homicide has taken her into the darkest depths of New York City s underground and sometimes Lieutenant Eve Dallas feels more comfortable in those kinds of places than in the high-rise, high-society world of her billionaire husband, Roarke. But while she s no party girl, she s managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating the debut of The Icove Agenda. This time it s Eve, not Roarke, who s a guest of honor, since the film is based on one of her famous cases. Her partner, Peabody, is practically giddy over rubbing shoulders with Hollywood royalty. Eve, on the other hand, is more likely to roll her eyes than have stars in them. But she has to admit it s a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks almost like her long-lost twin. Not as unsettling, though, as seeing K. T. Harris, the actress who plays Peabody drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the director s luxury building. Talented but rude, and widely disliked, K. T. had made an embarrassing scene during dinner. She clearly liked being the center of attention. Now she s at the center of a crime scene and Eve is more than ready to get out of her high heels and strap on her holster, to step into the role she was born to play: cop."Delusion in Death"It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks, complained about the boss, maybe hooked up with someone for the night. Until something went terribly wrong. At first it was just a friction in the air. The noise intensified. The crowd seemed oppressive. Some sharp words were exchanged, some pushing and shoving. Then the madness descended. And after twelve minutes of chaos and violence, eighty people lay dead. Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the inexplicable events. Surviving witnesses talk about seeing things monsters and swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and paranoia. When forensics makes its report, the mass delusions make more sense: it appears the bar patrons were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive people into temporary insanity if not kill them outright. But that doesn t explain who would unleash such horror or why. Eve s husband, Roarke, happens to own the bar, yet he s convinced the attack wasn t directed at him. It s bigger than that. And if Eve can t figure it out fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere. Because it s airborne...."
