Interlude in Death by Nora Roberts

This collection of texts centers on Lieutenant Eve Dallas, a New York police officer reluctantly attending an Interplanetary Law Enforcement and Security Conference on the planet Olympus. Her trip takes a sharp turn when a murder occurs at the resort, involving individuals connected to Commander Douglas Skinner, a legendary former cop. The investigation quickly reveals a tangled web of past grudges and familial connections, as Skinner's deep-seated vendetta against Roarke, Eve's husband and the resort's owner, is unveiled. Eve, alongside Olympus Police Chief Darcia Angelo, must navigate inter-agency friction and personal histories to solve the homicides, confronting both the immediate danger and the decades-old motivations behind the crimes.
