Bonded in Death

Beschreibung

The #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb spins an epic tale of loyalty, treachery, murder, and the long shadow of war...<BR><BR>His passport read Giovanni Rossi. But decades ago, during the Urban Wars, he was part of a small, secret organization called The Twelve. Responding to an urgent summons from an old compatriot, he landed in New York and eased into the waiting car.

And died within minutes...<BR><BR>Lieutenant Eve Dallas finds the Rossi case frustrating. She's got an elderly victim who'd just arrived from Rome; a widow who knows nothing about why he'd left; an as-yet unidentifiable weapon; and zero results on facial recognition. But when she finds a connection to the Urban Wars of the 2020s, she thinks Summerset-fiercely loyal, if somewhat grouchy, major-domo and the man who'd rescued her husband from the Dublin streets-may know something from his stint as a medic in Europe back then.<BR><BR>When Summerset learns of the crime, his shock and grief are clear-because, as he eventually reveals, he himself was one of The Twelve.

It's not a part of his past he likes to revisit. But now he must-not only to assist Eve's investigation, but because a cryptic message from the killer has boasted that others of The Twelve have also died. Summerset is one of those who remain-and the murderous mission is yet to be fully accomplished...
