J.D. Robb writes another Eve Dallas crime fiction novel in the "In Death" series.

"Delusion in Death" was published by Penguin Group on Sept. 11, 2012.

The 400-page book is described:

It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks . . .until something went terribly wrong. And after twelve minutes of chaos and violence, eighty people lay dead.

Lieutenant Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the inexplicable events. Surviving witnesses talk about seeing things-monsters and swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and paranoia. When forensics gives its report, the mass delusions make more sense: It appears the bar patrons were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive anyone to temporary insanity-if not kill them outright.

But that doesn't explain who would unleash such horror-or why. And if Eve can't figure it out fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere. Because it's airborne. . . .

Readers love Eve as the main detective in all of the series. J.D.Robb, is the pseudonym for New York Times Bestselling author Nora Roberts, which is the author of more than 200 novels, including the "In Death" series, which is set in the future year 2060.

The book has gotten rave reviews:

"While Robb serves up twists and turns in ample portions, the main attraction is still the character of Eve, who will win over readers with her ability to persevere in seeking a killer while coping with her personal demons." - Publishers Weekly

Many readers gave "Delusion in Death" four and five stars:

"The was one of the better books I have read.I was instantly immersed into this fantastic, well written story."

"I am a long time lover of all things JD Robb. And the plot of this story had me glued to my seat and surprised by the twists and turns. But I do have one gripe.. all of the mixed metaphors by Eve. Maybe this is a quirk that has been used before, but in previous books it was rare so I didn't note it. But in this book, she had 5 or six, and within a couple chapters of each other and it made a big impression. Suddenly my Eve Dallas is a bumbling nit wit and Roarke is indulgently smiling at her mistakes. Eve isn't cute and quirky and if Roarke gave her an indulgent smile she'd smack it off his face."

"I am amazed at what a prolific writer Nora Roberts is. Of course, she also writes as J.D. Robb and her latest is as well written as her earlier ones. A great series with some some futuristic inventions. I recommend it to anyone who likes mysteries punctuated with a little romance and science fiction."

"I can't believe after so many books I'm still waiting at the edge of my seat for another story. I reluctantly read Naked in Death about a year ago and have since read every single book in the series. I love Eve and Roarke and can not wait to hear more about them and the rest of their mysteries. Amazing as usual."
