Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant hunting for a ruthless killer. Named by the social worker who found her when she was a mere child roaming that city's streets, Eve lives for her job. In over ten years on the force, she's seen it all - and knows her survival depends on her instincts. And she's going against every warning telling her not to trust the charismatic Irish billionaire, Roarke - a suspect in her latest murder investigation.

But sometimes you have to make your own rules, and Eve must decide whether to take a chance on a man she knows nothing about...

I first came upon this series after receiving one of the later books as a gift. In many ways, they are just your typical, run-of-the-mill murder mystery/detective story. What sets these apart are Robb’s strong lead female character, Detective Eve Dallas, and the futuristic setting — all of the books take place after the year 2058. This futuristic setting gives the stories that extra punch that I feel sets them apart from the rest.
