Death and Bonds: A Guide for the Targeted Audience

J. D. Robb, the #1 New York Times bestselling author, weaves an epic narrative filled with themes of loyalty, betrayal, murder, and the enduring effects of war. Once known as Giovanni Rossi, he was a member of the clandestine group The Twelve during the turbulent Urban Wars. Summoned by an old associate, Rossi arrived in New York and met a tragic fate within moments.

Lieutenant Eve Dallas faces a perplexing case with the murder of Rossi. The victim, recently arrived from Rome, leaves behind a widow oblivious to his reasons for leaving. The weapon used remains unidentified, and facial recognition leads to dead ends. Dallas uncovers links to the Urban Wars of the 2020s. She turns to Summerset, a loyal and grumpy major-domo who once saved her husband in the streets of Dublin while serving as a medic in Europe during the war.

Summerset's reaction to the crime is visceral, revealing a distressing connection to The Twelve, a chapter of his past he prefers to keep buried. Despite his reluctance, he must confront his history not only to aid Dallas's inquiry but also because the killer's message hints at more deaths of former members. As one of the remaining survivors, Summerset faces the looming threat of the killer’s unfulfilled mission.

The investigation pushes Dallas and Summerset to reexamine their shared past and navigate the dangerous terrain of secrets held by The Twelve, all while racing against time to prevent further bloodshed. As they unravel the tangled web of deceit and vendetta, they uncover shocking truths that will test their resolve and challenge their beliefs. In a gripping tale of suspense and intrigue, Robb delves into the complexities of loyalty and the consequences of choices made in the heat of battle.
