D. Robb  \nFriendship cannot live with ceremony, nor without civility.—LORD HALIFAX  \nIs this a vision?  \nis this a dream?  \ndo I sleep?  \n—WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nChapter One  \nShe'd gotten through the entire evening without killing anyone. Lieutenant Eve Dallas, cop to the bone, figured the restraint showed enormous strength of character.  \nHer day had gone smoothly enough. A morning court appearance that had been as routine as it was tedious, paperwork both extensive and mindnumbing. The single case she'd caught had involved pals and their dispute over who had dibs on the last of the illegals—a party mix of Buzz, Exotica, and Zoom—they'd been toking on while lazing around on the roof of an apartment building on the West Side.  \nThe dispute had been resolved when one of the afternoon partiers had taken a header off the roof, clutching the last of the illegals in his greedy fist.  \nHe probably hadn't felt much, even when he'd splatted onto Tenth Avenue, but it sure as hell had broken the party mood.  \nWitnesses, including an uninvolved Good Samaritan from a neighboring building who'd called in the nine-one-one, all stated that the individual who'd been scooped off the sidewalk and into a bag had leaped of his own volition onto the roof ledge, danced an energetic keep-away boogie, lost his precarious balance, and taken flight with a giggling wee-haw.  \nMuch to the surprise—and possible entertainment—of the afternoon passengers on an airtram who'd also witnessed the last dance of one Jasper K. McKinney.  \nOne inappropriately delighted tourist had managed to capture the entire incident on his pocket vid.  \nIt all jibed, and the books would close on Jasper as death by misadventure. Unofficially, Eve labeled it death by stupidity, but there wasn't a place on the sheet for that particular observation.  \nAs a result of Jasper and his eight-story dive, she'd clocked out of Cop Central barely an hour past end-of-duty, only to get bogged down in ugly midtown traffic because the temporary vehicle some sadist in Requisitions had tossed at her limped along like a blind, three-legged dog.  \nShe had rank, for God's sake, and was entitled to a decent ride. It wasn't her fault she'd had two units destroyed in two years. Maybe she'd forget strength of character and go maim somebody in Requisitions in the morning.  \nIt sounded like fun.  \nAnd after she'd gotten home—okay, almost two hours late—she'd had to transform herself from kick-ass murder cop to fashionable corporate wife.  \nShe was a good cop, she reminded herself, but more than a little shaky in the corporate-wife arena.  \nShe supposed she'd been fashionable, since her husband had the entire getup—down to the underwear—set out for her. Roarke knew clothes.  \nShe just knew she was wearing something green with sparkles all over it, and where it wasn't green and sparkly, it showed a lot of skin.  \nThere hadn't been time to argue about it, but only to dive into the outfit and shove her feet into shoes—also green and sparkly. With high enough, needle-thin heels, she'd been nearly eye-to-eye with her man.  \nIt wasn't a hardship to be eye-to-eye with Roarke. Not when his were that wild, unearthly blue in a face drawn by artistic angels. But it was tough being social with strangers when you were worried you might tip over and fall on your ass any second.  \nBut she'd gotten through it. Through the quick-change, the quick shuttle trip from New York to Chicago, through the cocktail hour where her brains were nearly bored to suet despite truly excellent wine, and the corporate dinner with Roarke entertaining about a dozen clients, with her playing hostess.  \nShe wasn't quite sure what kind of clients they were since Roarke had his fingers in every pie known to man or beast, so she didn't attempt to keep up. What she did know was that most of them could take the prize for most tedious during the four-hour ordeal.  \nBut there ","cbCaipNMFUVocEE4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipNMFUVocEE4","pdf",1442957,413,"English","# Chapter One\n## Evening Without Killing Anyone\n## Court Appearance and the Rooftop Incident\n## Travel Delays and Homecoming\n## Corporate Wife Mode and Roarke’s Teasing","[{\"question\":\"What challenges does Eve face after returning home from her day’s events?\",\"answer\":\"She must switch from a cop persona to a fashionable corporate-wife role, complete with restrictive, sparkly clothing while dealing with fatigue and travel delays.\"}]","Visions in Death - Book 22 - Chapter One | PDF",1789949721,636]
