An Eve Dallas thriller (Book 47)

Leverage in Death

Lynn Braden

Family man Paul Rogan walks into his office as his company is about to strike the deal of a lifetime wearing an explosive suicide vest, muttering that there must be another way. The ensuing explosion makes no sense until Eve Dallas and her investigative team discover that his family was being used as leverage to coerce him to blow himself up, taking several of his friends and coworkers with him. Eve wastes no time following evidence that leads her to a long-planned plot to exploit the volatility of the stock market, after such an event, to manipulate stock prices in order to "make a killing."
J.D. Robb never fails to impress. As with the previous 46 books in the In Death series, this one has a well written plot and an interesting mystery. Familiar characters from the series are included as both part of the case and to add humor to an oblivious Eve Dallas as the movie, The Icove Agenda, is up for several Academy Awards.
Another great entry in the In Death series; I'm looking forward to the next one.

Lieutenant Eve Dallas puzzles over a bizarre suicide bombing in a Wall St. office building in Leverage in Death, the latest in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from J.D. Robb... For the airline executives finalizing a merger that would make news in the business world, the nine a.m. meeting would be a major milestone. But after marketing VP Paul Rogan walked into the plush conference room, strapped with explosives, the headlines told of death and destruction instead. The NYPSD’s Eve Dallas confirms that Rogan was cruelly coerced by two masked men holding his family hostage. His motive was saving his wife and daughter—but what was the motive of the masked men? Despite the chaos and bad publicity, blowing up one meeting isn’t going to put the brakes on the merger. All it’s accomplished is shattering a lot of innocent lives. Now, with the help of her billionaire husband Roarke, Eve must untangle the reason for an inexplicable act of terror, look at suspects inside and outside both corporations, and determine whether the root of this crime lies in simple sabotage, or something far more complex and twisted.
