Naked in Death (1995) is the first book of the In Death series by J. D. Robb , preceding Glory in Death . This book originally had a cover flat produced for it with the name "D. J. MacGregor", but was changed later. [3]

New York Police and Security Department detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas's main suspect in the death of a high-profile prostitute is the enigmatic Irish businessman, Roarke , in 2058. [4]

In 2058, Eve Dallas, Lieutenant in the NYPSD (New York Police and Security Department) Homicide division, is tasked with finding the culprit who killed Sharon DeBlass, a licensed companion (that is, a legal prostitute ) and granddaughter to Senator DeBlass of the Conservative Party. As she investigates DeBlass's murder, more prostitutes are slain, setting up a pattern that involves antique (and illegal) firearms and video discs of the murder being sent to Lt. Dallas. Signs initially point to the wealthy Roarke, since DeBlass had had an evening appointment with him and Roarke is a collector of the type of antique firearm used in her murder ( Smith & Wesson Model 10 ), but Eve rules him out as a suspect and begins a passionate love affair with him.

With the assistance of Dr. Charlotte Mira , Eve develops a psychological profile of the killer: someone who thinks poorly of women and gets pleasure from the sexual power of using them and killing them after. To her disgust, the Chief of Police, Simpson, orders Eve to lie in the press conference and say that DeBlass's death was likely an accident and not linked with any other murders. She then follows a hunch and gets help from Roarke in illegally accessing Simpson's finances, discovering enormous donations from DeBlass and unreported millions of dollars in overseas accounts. She then leaks this information to the press, effectively ridding herself of any interference from the Chief.

Eve uncovers an incestual affair between Sharon DeBlass and her grandfather. Sharon was blackmailing her grandfather, who was paying her to keep quiet about the childhood molestation of both Sharon and her aunt, but also sleeping with him. Eve flies with Roarke to Washington D.C. and arrests the senator on the Senate floor for all three murders just as he is publicly speaking in favor of a "Morality Bill" that will again outlaw prostitution and legalize firearms. On the plane flight back, she admits to Roarke that her father raped her repeatedly as a child and that she doesn't remember anything beyond being found at age eight in Dallas.

Eve then comes home to find Senator DeBlass's assistant, Rockman, in her apartment planning to make her the fourth victim. As he explains that the senator (who has now committed suicide) killed Sharon in a moment of passion and then allowed Rockman to commit the other murders to lead investigators astray, Eve secretly transmits the conversation to the other detective on the case, Captain Ryan Feeney. A cat that Eve had taken from one of the victims distracts Rockman, giving Eve a chance to fight back long enough for Roarke and the police to arrive. She is safe and the murderer captured.

‘Naked and Afraid’ is a reality show that tests contestants on their survival instincts — and that too under the most extreme conditions. No clothes, food, water, or shelter – the participants are required to fend for themselves while battling harsh environmental conditions. Although there is a camera crew following them to document the ordeal, the production team cannot intervene. The survivalists are on their own – literally! So, this raises the question. Considering the grueling terrain and surroundings, without the availability of basic necessities, do contestants face the danger of life-threatening conditions? Or has anyone died while filming the show? Let’s find out.

Thankfully and fortunately, no contestant has died in ‘Naked and Afraid’ to date. But there have been a few instances when contestants did have a close brush with death.
Manu Toigo , in season 1, was bitten by a mosquito that got her infected with a serious illness. After the bite, once she returned home to LA from her ordeal in the Panamanian coast, she started suffering from recurrent headaches and nosebleeds.
She became extremely weak and eventually, had to be admitted. There, it was confirmed that she contracted dengue hemorrhagic fever in the wilderness. Fortunately, following extensive treatment, she made a full recovery.
Another case that generated massive controversy was the “near-death” experience of Honora Bowen . After being dropped off with her partner Matt Strutzel in Brazil’s North Region, she passed out and had to tap out. But later, she revealed that she had faked the whole scenario. Honora had been asking to leave the show because of her bladder issue. But apparently, the producers ‘goaded’ her to carry on. Hence, she put up an act.
Honora later wrote a blog where she explained how she managed to get herself eliminated. She allowed her body to go catatonic — fully limp — as she was already on the verge of collapsing. Hence, the act was easy. Her blood pressure was around 40-60 and this made her pretty close to reaching a comatose stage. Therefore, playing dead came almost naturally.
Army vet Samantha Ohl and newlywed Adam Adams were stranded in the mountains of Croatia in season 8. After battling extreme hunger and frigid temperatures, Samantha is one more contestant who had a close encounter with death. She and her partner were trapped in a rainstorm and the temperatures dipped like crazy. The only way out was to share body heat but Samantha denied doing so with Adam. As a result, she fell seriously ill and Adam had to call a medic. Samantha was diagnosed with stage-two hypothermia.
The situation was extremely tense since the medic started worrying that Samantha’s organs would stop functioning. However, she was admitted to the nearest hospital on time and she survived without any permanent damage to her health. Samantha later admitted that she still regrets not having been able to finish her challenge.
‘Naked and Afraid’ producer Steve Rankin, while scouting for shooting locations in Costa Rica in 2013, was bitten by a pit viper. When the venom traveled up his leg, his foot was severely infected. But he also made a full recovery after being transported to the hospital on a helicopter.
