    D. Robb titles together in one collection. Fantasy in Death Bart Minnock, founder of the computer gaming giant U-Play, enters his private room, and eagerly can�t wait to lose himself in an imaginary world, to take on the role of a sword-wielding warrior king, in his company�s latest top-secret project, Fantastical. The next morning, he is found in the same locked room, in a pool of blood, his head separated from his body. It is the most puzzling case Lieutenant Eve Dallas has ever faced, and it is not a game.... She is having as much trouble figuring out how Bart Minnock was murdered as determining who did the murdering. The victim�s girlfriend seems sincerely grief-stricken, and his quirky but brilliant partners at U-Play appear shocked as well. No one seems to have had a problem with the enthusiastic, high-spirited millionaire. Of course, success can attract jealousy, and gaming, like any business, has its fierce rivalries and dirty tricks�as Eve�s husband, Roarke, one of U-Play�s competitors, knows well. But Minnock was not naive, and he knew how to fight back in the real world as well as the virtual one. Eve and her team are about to enter the next level of police work, in a world where fantasy is the ultimate seduction�and the price of defeat is death. Indulgence in Death When a murder disrupts the Irish vacation she is taking with her husband, Roarke, Eve realizes that no place is safe�not an Irish wood or the streets of the manic city she calls home. But nothing prepares her for what she discovers upon her return to the cop shop in New York City.... A driver for a top-of-the-line limousine service is found dead�shot through the neck with a crossbow. The car was booked by an executive at a venerable security company whose identity had been stolen. Days later, a stunning, high-priced escort is found killed at Coney Island, a bayonet stuck in her heart. And again, the trail leads to a CEO whose information has been hijacked. With a method established, but no motive to be found, Eve begins to fear that she has come across that most dangerous of criminals, a thrill killer, but one with a taste for the finer things in life�and death. Eve does not know where or when the next kill will be, or that her investigation will take her to the rarefied circle that Roarke travels in�and into the perverted heart of madness....
