Lieutenant Eve Dallas's search for a precious fortune leads her into untold danger in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb. In New York City in 2059, someone is pursuing missing gems from a decades-old heist...someone who's willing to kill for them. Sharp-witted and sexy, Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas is used to traveling in the shadowy corners outside the law. And in a future where crime meets cutting-edge technology, she will attempt to track down the diamonds once and for all--and stop the danger and death that has surrounded them for years.

I was glad to find this story. I don't buy collections of short stories often, and therefore, had missed this story and am glad they put in a book by itself. I knew there had been a story about a diamond heist but hadn't been able to find it as the title doesn't follow the rest of the series' naming convention. Just wish it was in hardcover as I re-read series periodically, like to read the novels in order, and hardcover lasts better than paperback. I'm going to have to figure out where this one fits between other In Death novels. I hope the next novel, after Fantasy In Death, puts this novel in the In Death list on the fly leaf, though I know the publishers haven't done this for three novellas that I own in slim paperback editions (Interlude In Death and Midnight in Death are 2 of the 3).
Look for NR seal

To all the bad reviews and people blaming Nora Roberts for a reprint fooling them... Just reading the description, I knew I had read this book before and the year it takes place is 2059 which is a year + behind where the story is for new books. Most of her new books are "In Death", so that is telling also. Also, for books written under the Nora Roberts name, she started putting a NR seal in the upper corner of all her NEW books. She started doing this years ago, when all her books started being reprinted. I loved this book and would read it again. I understand that it is frustrating to get an old book you think is new, but NR fans should be aware of this.
