J. D. Robb
An Eve Dallas Mystery (36th in series)
On Manhattan's Upper East Side a woman lies dead at the bottom of the stairs, stripped of all her valuables. Most cops might call it a mugging gone wrong, but Lieutenant Eve Dallas knows better.

And as the killer's violent streak begins to escalate, Eve knows she has to draw him out, even if it means using herself as bait …
