Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

"A sick computer can and does infect other computers, but not its operator," claims Roarke, dreamboat husband of New York's hotshot futuristic cop, Lieutenant Eve Dallas, in the 15th installment in Robb's `Death' series (after Reunion in Death). Roarke's theory is put to the test when pedophiles and drug dealers begin dying from a computer-generated virus that literally blows the mind of its victims. It doesn't take long for Eve to figure out that a vigilante terrorist organization with superior tech knowledge is meting out its own form of justice the group even leaves the message "absolute purity achieved" on victims' computer screens. Pinpointing the group is more of a challenge. Suspects could be anyone from members of the justice system to formerly abused children, the latter of which strikes a personal and painful nerve in Eve, who was abused as a child. Readers familiar with Eve's history and the sea of characters brought over from her previous books will be more comfortable than first- timers attempting to wade through this sluggish installment. Despite Robb's smooth-as-glass prose, her latest isn't likely to win new converts to the series.

From AudioFile

Crossing the boundary between literal and virtual reality is the basis for PURITY IN DEATH. In a convincing narrative, a computer virus attacks a target victim's central nervous system, bringing certain excruciating death. The story is a suspenseful delight for the listener who is fascinated by the exploits of serial killers. Susan Ericksen is flawless as the articulate, hard-driving Detective Eve Dallas. Ericksen's crisp enunciation and beautifully paced reading style convey the nuance of interior thought as well as the death cries of the afflicted victims. The book is awash in blood and flashy techno-jargon, which Ericksen handles with skill and energy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Future cop, Feb 18 2004
By Beverley Strong (Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Purity In Death (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first time that I've read a futuristic crime novel and, although I probably won't make a habit of it, I found it to be be very pacy and well written. Detective Eve Dallas, a gutsy, attractive 30 year old, married to a gorgeous hunk of a billionaire, becomes very involved in a sinister scheme to zap the brains of child porn monsters via their computers.The story is set some 60 years into the future and is full of techno talk like voice driven computers which can do almost anything. After an initial reluctance, I was soon drawn in and read it in 2 sittings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Dallas Hit!, Aug 4 2003
By Mrs. Opera (Saugus, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Purity In Death (Mass Market Paperback)
I typically read every book in a detective series, starting with the first one and rarely have I enjoyed all the books in any one series the way I enjoy the Eve Dallas books. Their characters have grown since the first book. J.D. Robb has kept Eve and Roarke focused while unfolding tantalizing bits of their backgrounds in each successive book. Robb has also kept a firm hold on her settings and best of all, you don't know who did it until the very end! Eve battles her personal demons in Purity in Death as well as the criminals and the endings are never sugar coated. I will keep on reading them as long as Robb keeps on writing them!
