In Death 2890417 221086192 2008-06-23T00:13:33Z 70.49.65.107 /* Books */ {{lowercase|title=…in Death}} The '''''…in Death''''' series, written by [[Nora Roberts]] under her [[pseudonym]] [[J. D. Robb]], features NYPSD ('New York City Police and Security Department') Lieutenant [[Eve Dallas]] and her husband [[Roarke]] and is set in a mid-21st century [[New York City]]. The stories also includes [[In Death Characters|other characters]], including [[In Death Characters#Captain Ryan Feeney|Captain Ryan Feeney]], [[In Death Characters#Officer (Detective) Delia Peabody|Detective Delia Peabody]], [[In Death Characters#Detective Ian McNab|Detective Ian McNab]] and [[In Death Characters#Dr. Charlotte Mira|Dr. Charlotte Mira]]. The series is ongoing and will go on as long as Roberts desires to write it; however, she has famously stated that the series will never contain one of Eve and Roarke's children, as the series will end with Eve's eventual pregnancy - which is nowhere in sight at the current count. ==Books == # ''[[Naked in Death]]'' (1995, ISBN 0-425-14829-7) # ''[[Glory in Death]]'' (1995, ISBN 0-425-15098-4) # ''[[Immortal in Death]]'' (1996, ISBN 0-425-15378-9) # ''Rapture in Death'' (1996, ISBN 0-425-15518-8) # ''Ceremony in Death'' (1997, ISBN 0-425-15762-8) # ''[[Vengeance in Death]]'' (1997, ISBN 0-425-16039-4) # ''Holiday in Death'' (1999, ISBN 0-425-16371-7) #: "[[Midnight in Death]]": ''Silent Night'' Anthology (1998, ISBN 0-515-12385-4) # ''[[Conspiracy in Death]]'' (1999, ISBN 0-425-16813-1) # ''[[Loyalty in Death]]'' (1999, ISBN 0-425-17140-X) # ''Witness in Death'' (2000, ISBN 0-425-17363-1) # ''Judgement in Death'' (2000, ISBN 0-425-17630-4) # ''Betrayal in Death'' (2001, ISBN 0-425-17857-9) #: "Interlude in Death", ''Out of this World'' Anthology (2001, ISBN 0-515-13109-1) # ''Seduction in Death'' (2001, ISBN 0-425-18146-4) # ''Reunion in Death'' (2002, ISBN 0-425-18397-1) # ''Purity in Death'' (2002, ISBN 0-425-18630-X) # ''Portrait in Death'' (2003, ISBN 0-425-18903-1) # ''Imitation in Death'' (2003, ISBN 0-425-19158-3) # ''[[Remember When (novel)| Remember When]]'' (2003 with Nora Roberts, ISBN 0-399-15106-0) #:Two-part book: the first part is a present-day [[Nora Roberts]] story which sets up the [[back story]] for the second part, which features [[Eve Dallas]] # ''Divided in Death'' (2004, ISBN 0-399-15154-0) # ''Visions in Death'' (2004, ISBN 0-399-15171-0) # ''Survivor in Death'' (2005, ISBN 0-399-15208-3) # ''[[Origin in Death]]'' (2005, ISBN 0-399-15289-X) # ''[[Memory in Death (novel)|Memory in Death]]'' (2006, ISBN 0-399-15328-4) #: "Haunted in Death", ''Bump in the Night'' Anthology (2006, ISBN 0-515-14117-8) # ''Born in Death'' (2006, ISBN 0-399-15347-0) # ''Innocent in Death'' (2007, ISBN 0-399-15401-9) #: "[[Eternity in Death]]", ''Dead of Night'' Anthology (2007, ISBN 0-515-14367-7) # ''Creation in Death'' (2007, ISBN 0-399-15436-1) # ''Strangers in Death'' (2008, ISBN 0-399-154701) #: "Ritual in Death", ''Suite 606'' (Coming October 2008) # ''Salvation in Death'' (Coming November 2008) # ''Promise in Death'' (Coming January/Februrary 2009) == Deaths == Below are all deaths - murder victims, murder investigations, and others - that occur in the span of the ''In Death'' books, including weapon, cause of death, and the perpetrator.
