Treachery in Death (In Death #32)
Author: J.D. Robb
Desc: Eve Dallas and her partner Peabody are following up on a brutal senseless crime — an elderly grocery owner killed by three stoned punks for nothing more than kicks and snacks. And for the first time Peabody is primary detective on the case which means she has to get used to a new level of authority and responsibility. Good thing she learned the ropes from a master like Eve. But after rounding up the perps Peabody stumbles upon a much trickier situation. Determined to start working out as hard as she grills suspects she chooses to do it at the old rarely-used gym at Central. After a grueling workout she squeezes into one of the narrow shower stalls happy to have the place to herself. Just after she shuts the water off the gym door clatters open — and while she cringes inside the stall trying not to make a sound Peabody overhears two fellow officers Garnet and Oberman arguing. References are made to delivering product and a house in the islands and someone named Keener who’s supposed to look like an OD. It doesn’t take long for a naked and vulnerable Peabody to realize that both officers are crooked — guilty not just of corruption but of murder as well. Fortunately the two clear out of the locker room without realizing there was a witness. Eve Dallas may have trained Peabody well — but this is too dangerous for one person to take on alone. Now Peabody Eve and her husband Roarke must try to get the hard evidence they need to bring the dirty cops down — knowing all the while that the two have already killed to keep their secret and are no doubt willing to do it again. 11 Audio CDs / 13 Hours 14 mins ~
