Eve is such a badass character who will stop at nothing to see that justice is done.” -Todd Wilkins, Best Thriller Books “This is going to be a must-read series for me year after year. “Violent crimes and desperate criminals and homicide detectives, oh my! Lee Goldberg delivers an intriguing, fast-paced, satisfying novel in Gated Prey. She is a force to be reckoned with that all criminals will hate to come face-to-face with and one that is deserved of the big screen.” -Chris Miller, Best Thriller Books “Goldberg finds the perfect balance of treachery and resolve in the strong female character of Eve Ronin. “A great series…Eve Ronin continues to dazzle and show her gritty side as she progresses in the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.” - Mystery and Suspense Magazine ![]() Columbo fans will have fun.” - Publishers Weekly “Lively descriptive prose enhances the tight plot of this episodic crime novel, which reads like a TV show in narrative form. There are lots of twists and turns until the final scene, which really surprised me and will stun you as well.“The seamy side of California dreaming…Goldberg not only ties up…but links some of Eve’s investigations in ways as disturbing as they are surprising.” - Kirkus Reviews ![]() It is a great police procedural with likable and sympathetic police characters. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Gated Prey for anyone who likes a mystery/thriller that moves quickly. The department assumes that Eve and Duncan have figured out the case, but Eve knows there are still unanswered questions, and she won’t give up working it out. As Eve and Duncan work on their investigation, they are harassed by members of their own department and their Chief, and that’s before the next murder victim is found. The only clue left was the dead body of one robber. Their ruse works, and the robbers attack them in their rented mansion but escape without leaving much evidence to help Eve and Duncan figure out their identities, how they are accessing the gated community and how they are targeting their victims. They drive around town and into the gated community in a Rolls Royce confiscated in a drug bust. To lure the robbers, they are posing as an elderly, infirm man and his gold-digging young bride. ![]() Luckily for Eve, she is so popular with the public that her story was picked up by a network that plans on creating a new series based on her exploits.Įve and Duncan have been assigned to investigate a series of robberies in a wealthy gated community in Calabasas, California – think Kardashian country. While most of the department openly hate her, Eve is lucky that her partner Duncan is one of the few officers she can still trust, although he is scheduled to retire in less than three months. Even worse is that soon after she was promoted, she gathered information on internal corruption that led to the arrests of several officers and the suicide of another. She is the youngest female homicide detective in the department, and her fellow officers did not believe that she deserved that recent promotion to detective. ![]() This is the third book in Goldberg’s Eve Ronin series, but he has many other books in his bibliography including the Monk Series which became a successful television show.Įve Ronin trusts only three other officers in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. I just finished Gated Prey by Lee Goldberg, and I loved it.
