Treachery in Death by J. D. Robb 375 pages

J.D. Robb does it again in “Treachery in Death”. Late one evening, Lieutenant Eve Dallas receives a disturbing call from her partner. Peabody and McNabb arrive at the home of Dallas and Roark with an unbelievable tale of murder, corruption and theft involving a squad at “cop central”. Eve and Roark find the body which verifies the murder. She takes the information to her commander and after Peabody reports a converstion she had overheard, the commander approves a plan to form a team that will work behind the scenes and determine the depth of corrution in the police department. Eve, Roark, Peabody and McNabb put together a team to investigate the corruption while keeping all queries under the radar. As usual, Robb’s style draws the reader into the story and keeps the mystery fresh. Eve Dallas fans will notice a slight softening of her character attributed to her relationship to husband Roark and her strong sense of honor and duty.
