false <![CDATA[Salvation in Death (In Death #27)]]> 2494204 10 In the year 2060, cutting-edge investigative tools can help catch a killer. But there are some questions even the most advanced technologies cannot answer... At the most solemn moment of a Catholic funeral Mass, the priest brings the chalice to his lips. Seconds later, he is dead on the alter. For the mourners packed into the pews, Father Miguel Flores's sudden demise is an unimaginable shock. When Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas confirms that the consecrated wine contained enough ptoassium cyanide to kill a rhino, she's prepared to plunge in and find out why, despite her discomfort with her surroundings. It's not the bodegas and pawnshps of East Harlem that bother her, though the neighborhood is a long way from the stone mansion she shares with her billionaire husband, Roarke. It's all that holiness flying around at St. Cristobal's that makes her uneasy. A search of the victim's simple, sparsely furnished room reveals few personal touches, except for a carefully hidden religious medal with a mysterious inscription, and a couple of underlined Bible passages. The autopsy reveals much more faint scars of knife wounds, a removed tatto--and evidence of plastic surgery suggesting "Fath Flores" may not have been the man his parishioners thought. Now, as Eve plieces together clues that suggest identity theft, gang connections, and a deeply personal act of revenge, she hopes to track down whoever committed this unholy act. Until a second murder--in front of an even larger crowd of worshippers--knocks the whole investigation sideways. The way Eve sees it, vengeance may be the Lord's business, but if there's going to be any earthy justice in this case, it's up to her. 2888281 6 11 2008 Salvation in Death (In Death #27) total:1282|5:472|4:496|3:268|2:44|1:2| 1282 5238 1821 162 5 7 false false Tue Nov 04 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 04 14:40:57 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 07 12:25:56 -0800 2008
