You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.211.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Promises in Death''''' (2009) is a novel by [[J. D. Robb]].  It is the 28th novel in the [[In Death]] series.

==Plot summary==

On being called in to investigate a dead body, NYPSD homicide detectives [[Eve Dallas]] and [[In Death characters#Peabody|Delia Peabody]] discover that the woman is a fellow officer, Detective Amaryllis Coltraine, who worked out of another precinct.  To add to the emotion of the case, Coltraine was the lover of [[In Death characters#Chief Medical Examiner Li Morris|Li Morris]], the Chief Medical Examiner and a good friend of Eve and Peabody.  Coltraine was shot with her own police stunner; it also appears that she may have known her killer.

Meanwhile, Eve's contact from Internal Affairs Bureau [[In Death characters#Webster|Donald Webster]] clues her on the victim's connection with Alex Ricker [[In Death characters#Max Ricker|Max Ricker]]'s son back in [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], from where the victim requested a transfer to New York following a fallout.

Initial evidence suggests that the kill may have been ordered by Alex Ricker.  The suspect's reactions, however, as well as Roarke's impressions from a private discussion they have, tend to steer the blame away from him.  Eve is beginning to sense that the killer may have been one of the detectives Coltraine worked with at her precinct.

A humorous minor subplot revolves around Eve's performing another duty of friendship she has never tackled before:  hosting a [[Bridal shower|wedding shower]] for [[In Death characters#Dr. Louise Dimatto|Louise Dimatto]], who is marrying former [[In Death (technology)#Other Trivia.2FTerminology|"licensed companion"]] [[In Death characters#Charles Monroe|Charles Monroe]]. In the middle of the shower, Eve gets a call from dispatch informing her of the death of [[Rod Sandy]], Alex's [[Personal Assistant]].

After she gets back, Eve requests [[In Death characters#Dr. Charlotte Mira|Charlotte Mira]] and [[In Death characters#APA Cher Reo|Cher Reo]] to sit in for a debrief and ends up explaining the case to all her friends which leads [[In Death characters#Mavis Freestone|Mavis]] to point out the killer who was the victim's partner at her precinct.

Further digging reveals the killer to be the [[illegitimate]] daughter of [[In Death characters#Max Ricker|Max Ricker]], who set her up to exact his revenge on Eve and Roarke for putting him in a cage.
