Stolen in Death (In Death, Book 62), by J. D. Robb | Free Audiobook

Treasure, murder, and secrets buried in plain sight

In Stolen in Death, J. D. Robb brings Lieutenant Eve Dallas face to face with a crime that spans generations. When Nathan Barrister is murdered during what appears to be a vault robbery, the case seems straightforward until Eve discovers the victim's family secret. The hidden vault, unknown to the household until recent renovations exposed it, contained ill-gotten treasures from Nathan's late father, including the priceless Royal Suite: an extraordinary collection of emerald and diamond jewelry.

Before the family could figure out how to return the stolen items anonymously, a thief infiltrated the supposedly secure vault, took the Royal Suite, and left Nathan dead from a brutal blow with an ornamental amethyst. Now Eve and her husband Roarke must navigate a web of family loyalty, old crimes, and new greed. With a limited suspect pool who knew about the vault's existence, the investigation becomes a high-stakes race to recover a fortune and catch a killer who has already proven willing to murder for treasure.

Susan Ericksen returns to voice this 62nd installment in the beloved series, bringing her signature energy to both familiar characters and new suspects. The futuristic New York setting, the partnership between cop and billionaire, and the blend of police procedural with relationship dynamics create a listening experience that balances brutal crime with moments of warmth, making each book in the series feel fresh even after six decades of cases solved.
