Desperation in Death is a futuristic police procedural novel by J.D. Robb (pseudonym for Nora Roberts), the 55th book in her popular "In Death" series. Published in September 2022, it follows Lieutenant Eve Dallas as she investigates a horrific human trafficking ring.

Synopsis

Set in New York City in the year 2061, the story begins with the discovery of the body of a 13-year-old girl, Mina, near the waterfront. Homicide detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas determines Mina was a victim of a high-overhead sex trafficking operation and was part of an escape attempt from a place called "The Pleasure Academy".

The case is particularly challenging and emotionally taxing for Dallas, as it brings to the surface painful memories of her own traumatic childhood abuse and past. With the help of her billionaire husband, Roarke, and her team, Dallas races to find Mina's fellow escapee, an injured runaway named Dorian, before the perpetrators recapture her. The investigation is a desperate quest for justice against those who prey on innocent victims.

Reception

Reviewers and fans of the series have praised Desperation in Death for its gripping, tightly-plotted, and often dark storyline.

The way the case forces Eve to confront her own trauma and the support she receives from Roarke and Summerset (her butler) was a significant highlight for many readers.

Pacing and Writing: The novel was described as a page-turner that keeps readers hooked from start to finish, showcasing J.D. Robb's excellent storytelling abilities and ability to handle difficult subjects with pragmatism.
