Robb*. This time, Eve Dallas tracks down those who break the law-including the ones sworn to uphold it.
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 is all alone in the locker room when the gym door clatters open. She hides inside a shower stall, trying not to make a sound, and overhears two fellow officers, Garnet and Oberman, arguing. It doesn't take long to realize that both Garnet and Oberman are crooked, and guilty not just of corruption but 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. . .
* J. D. Robb is the pseudonym for a number-one New York Times-bestselling author of more than 170 novels. More than 300 million copies of her books are in print.
