This time, Eve Dallas's partner and protégé, Peabody, gets
a chance to be primary on a case. Later, Peabody pulls Eve
into an investigation about people on the wrong side of the
blue line: they want to pull down some dirty cops, but with
a fear that corruption goes through an entire department
and beyond, they have to watch their steps and their backs.
With the help of their friends and coworkers, as well as
Eve's husband, the brilliant "civilian consultant" Roarke,
they work to weave together a tight case.
J. D. Robb's futuristic mysteries never disappoint.
The latest in the In Death series, TREACHERY IN DEATH lives
up to the well-earned reputation of the rest of the series.
Detective Eve Dallas and her partner, Peabody, are following up on a senseless crime – an elderly grocery owner killed by three stoned punks for nothing more than kicks and snacks. This is Peabody’s first case as primary detective – good thing she learned from the master. But Peabody soon stumbles upon a trickier situation. After a hard workout, she’s all alone in the locker room when the gym door clatters open; and – while hiding inside a shower stall trying not to make a sound – she overhears two fellow officers, Garnet and Oberman, arguing. It doesn’t take long to realize they’re both crooked – guilty not just of corruption but of murder. Now Peabody, Eve, and Eve’s husband, Roarke, are trying to get the hard evidence they need to bring the dirty cops down – knowing all the while that the two are willing to kill to keep their secret.
