Product Description:
Set in 2059 in New York City, the number-one bestselling In Death series has given fans a searing glimpse into near-future law and order. Now, as scientists work to expand the limits of technology, Detective Eve Dallas tracks the cunning, cold-blooded killer of a father and son.
A pioneer of modern reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, Dr. Wilfred B. Icove, is found dead in his office-murdered in a chillingly efficient manner: one swift stab to the heart. Struck by the immaculate condition of the crime scene, Dallas suspects a professional killing. Security disks show a stunningly beautiful woman calmly entering and leaving the building-the good doctor's final appointment.
Known as "Dr. Perfect," the saintly Icove devoted his life to his family and his work. His record is clean. Too clean for Dallas. She knows he was hiding something and suspects that his son-and successor-knows what it is. Then, like father, like son, the young Dr. Icove is killed . . . with the same deadly precision.
But who is the mystery woman-and what was her relationship with the good doctors? While her husband, Roarke, works behind the scenes, Dallas follows her darkest instincts into the Icoves' pasts. What she discovers are men driven to create perfection-playing fast and loose with the laws of nature, the limits of science, and the morals of humanity.
Origin in Death proves once again the incredible appeal of Eve Dallas and the bestselling popularity of her creator. Whether writing as herself or as J. D. Robb, Nora Roberts continues to push the boundaries of suspense-and she takes delighted fans along for the ride.

The book itself is well written, but the topic of clones and the amount of time devoted to discovering just what the Icove's were up to and the big reveal kind of fell flat when I figured out from the prologue that clones were what we were dealing with.
I just wasn't impressed, ... Read More

Overall: This story is a bad to terrible deriative mixture of weak sci-fiction, female sterotypes, weak romance novel and a clear ripe off of "The Boys from Brazil".
Characters: The characters are two-dimensional bad architypes of tough female characters who are loathsome of their sexuality so they can fit into a "male dominated" world. It should be noted that there are very few males in the stories and most of them are bad guys..the clear loathing of males is very obvious and fairly ... Read More

I love SF and mysteries and am not averse to a little romance in my fiction, so I thought this near-future police series was made for me! I picked up a CD recording (whose narrator is excellent, by the way) and prepared to enjoy myself.
Instead I found an implausible story with so many unbelievable details that I was astonished the book was published as written, cardboard characters, and sex scenes so hackneyed my husband and I both wondered who over the age of 13 would be turned on by ... Read More

J D Robb (Nora Roberts) delivers another great story in this ongoing series, Nora please continue the great work. You are one of the most amazing authors I have ever read and listening to your audio books are even better.
