Publisher Description
'There's another body on a slab, Dallas. Dirty cop or not, he's dead, and she's responsible. She has to be shut downbefore she decides to clean house again.'
Lieutenant Eve Dallas is about to come up against her most formidable criminal yet: Lieutenant Renee Oberman, daughter of a New York Police legend. After eighteen years on the force, Oberman is efficient, decorated - and utterly corrupt.
When Eve's partner Peabody overhears a damning conversation between Oberman and one of her flunkies, Peabody, Eve and her husband Roarke are soon on the case.
Together they must find the hard evidence needed to bring Oberman and all her dirty cops down - knowing all the while that she will kill anyone who gets in her way.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lt. Eve Dallas and her squad take on corrupt cops in Robb's 33rd full-length novel featuring the New York Police and Security Dept. homicide detective (after Indulgence in Death), a fast-paced, intricate, and deadly dance of well-matched opponents. When Dallas's partner, Det. Delia Peabody, overhears an angry exchange between Lt. Rene Oberman and Det. William Garnet that reveals an unlawful killing and ongoing skimming, Dallas's reaction to this news is decisive: "the blue line breaks for wrong cops." The setting may be slightly futuristic, but the procedures are familiar: Dallas puts together a solid team that meets in her home to avoid leaks as they compile evidence. At the same time, she initiates confrontations with the dangerous Oberman, whom she begins pushing toward a trap. From this pure good guys versus bad guys scenario, Robb (aka Nora Roberts) wrings plenty of exciting strokes and counterstrokes before reaching the satisfying climax.
Customer Reviews
Rip roaring
Complex, layered, great fun. Bits of dialogue were laugh out loud. Continuing character development. Really meshed together.
Treachery In Death
Fantastic. Loved the plot and the characters, and was very surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this. I was sceptical when I started it - a futuristic crime thriller was not something I thought I'd enjoy, but I'm so glad I decided to give this a go, and I'm now going to start another of the 'In Death' series!
Treachery in Death
This like every other book written before it in the Eve Dallas series is absolutely outstanding and keeps you riveted to the end as you hope and pray that the next book has been released. Awesome to say the least.
