In Death

The ...in Death series of novels and novellas is written by Nora Roberts under her pseudonym J. D. Robb. Set in a mid-21st-century New York City, they feature NYPSD ("New York City Police and Security Department") lieutenant Eve Dallas and her husband Roarke. The stories also regularly feature other characters, including Captain Ryan Feeney, Detective Delia Peabody, Detective Ian McNab and Dr. Charlotte Mira.

The series was first published in 1995, and, as of 2024^[update], includes over 50 novels. Roberts has stated that the series will never contain one of Eve and Roarke's children,^[1] as this would end the series.^[2]
