Birth of Crime - Nora Roberts - book

In 2060, women still give birth to bring children into the world. And Lieutenant Eve Dallas's best friend had the bad taste to get pregnant and ask her to attend the birth. It must be said that Eve is much less comfortable in a maternity ward than in a morgue. But she has other worries: a young accountant and her fiancé have been tortured and strangled. The motive for the crime eludes Eve, until she discovers that the two victims, who worked in the same company, were about to reveal a huge scandal. Eve will uncover a new kind of trafficking, even more sordid than anything she has ever known.
