*USED* Desperation in Death by J.D. Robb

New York, 2061: The Pleasure Academy is a living nightmare where abducted girls are imprisoned and systematically broken. When thirteen-year-old Dorian and her fellow inmate Mina attempt escape, only Dorian survives—injured and terrified on the streets. Mina's body is discovered by Lt. Eve Dallas, whose investigation reveals a sophisticated sex trafficking operation targeting the vulnerable. With her billionaire husband Roarke's connections to the city's elite, Dallas pursues those responsible, though the case ignites a rage she struggles to contain. In her relentless quest for justice, Dallas must confront the darkest corners of human cruelty while keeping her focus sharp enough to dismantle the network preying on the innocent.
