Publisher's summary

"Narrator Susan Ericksen's performance vibrates with energy as she portrays old and new characters in this series."—AudioFile on Desperation in Death, an Earphones Award winner.

A retired colleague falls victim to a staged suicide in Payback in Death, the next police thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author J.D. Robb.

Lt. Eve Dallas is just home from a long overdue vacation when she responds to a call of an unattended death. The victim is Martin Greenleaf, retired Internal Affairs Captain. At first glance, the scene appears to be suicide, but the closer Eve examines the body, the more suspicious she becomes.

An unlocked open window, a loving wife and family, a too-perfect suicide note—Eve's gut says it's a homicide. After all, Greenleaf put a lot of dirty cops away during his forty-seven years in Internal Affairs. It could very well be payback—and she will not rest until the case is closed.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

LOVE THESE BOOKS! ❤️ 😍 💖

I started these booked 11, maybe 12 years ago...
They just get better, but unfortunately, they adre further apart these days. I hope I get them all read before I die...
They use to come out 3 or 4 a tear. Now I'm lucky if there are 1 or close to 2 a year.
Just please keep them coming,..

Loved it, as usual!

As usual, the story grabbed me from the beginning thru to the end. I love that I am able to laugh at some of the things Eve says. And that I am able to be brought to tears at the heartbreaking parts. I think the next In Death book co n es out in January, but I can't wait! I still can not believe these marvelous books have not been made into a tv series! Come on, there have to be some people who agree with me that would be able to make it happen!

Always a pleasure

I’m always so excited to dive into another adventure on the streets of NYC with Eve and company. I love how she and Roark have grown into something greater than just the two of them.

Another in my favorite series

This book has all the characters growing, Wow go Peabody, Have to say I did miss the presence of Nadine and Jake, and the snark they bring. But this book has it all, one of my favorites. This series is by far the best never let's you down, hope it continues for years!

Love All The In Death Books

JD ROBB/Nora Roberts is so amazing, I’ve been reading every one of her “in death” series for years. I started in my teens and wait very impatiently for her next book to come out. They’re all exceptional!
