For nearly three decades, J.D. Robb (the pen name of Nora Roberts) has delivered razor-sharp, futuristic crime novels starring Lieutenant Eve Dallas—a relentless NYPSD homicide cop—and her infuriatingly perfect, tech-savvy billionaire husband, Roarke.
Think gritty investigations, sly humor, sizzling chemistry, and a found-family squad you’ll want to spend book after book with. If you’ve been meaning to dive in (or jump back in), this is your moment.
Between Aug 26 and Sept 2, we’re spotlighting the series with limited-time offers and an all-new pre-order. Below you’ll find easy ways to start, what to expect from the world of In Death, and quick links to the deals.
Where to Start (Choose Your Path)
Path A: Begin at the very beginning
Start with Naked in Death (Book 1) to meet Eve, Roarke, Peabody, and the rest of the core cast in order. You’ll savor the character arcs and long-running threads exactly as they were meant to unfold.
Path B: Slide in with a modern entry (and a deal!)
Want a more recent, self-contained case? Try Golden in Death—and right now it’s FREE during our promo window. It’s a great on-ramp to the tone, pacing, and squad dynamic of later installments.
Path C: Fast-track mini-marathon
Sample a tight cluster of recent entries—perfect if you want polished narration, up-to-date tech toys, and that locked-in “just one more chapter” momentum.
