Publisher's summary

In a New York City fifty years in the future, Detective Eve Dallas tracks down those who break the law - including the ones sworn to uphold it.

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.

amazing book

Love the death seris listen over and over again cant get enough of Eve Dallas Roarke Peabody Marvis and the whole gang. Just cant wait fir the next book.

Lady Justice in the wings

I love it when Eve Dallas rallies all her forces and brings justice to the wicked... I can even feel I’m part of the team because I can choose which character in the story I’m connecting with at the time I’m listening to the story- was it the store keeper when she lost her husband due to the low life’s high on drugs or was it the the moment our hero Eve Dallas springs her well planed traps snaring and ridding the world of a high level corrupt Baddie...
I’m always impressed with how complete each character is developed and how “human” each one is and stays mostly within their character but occasionally lets loose a surprise or two to cause a raised brow or two.
This story moves right along and for the justice seeking buffs- this one is for you-I highly recommend it!

great story

I liked the story a lot but too many vulgar words. Didn't like Dallas being referred to as sir. There needs to be more of a distinctive change in character's voices.

Overall a good listen but drags

As all J.D. Robb books, a good basic listen but this one drags on a bit--long narratives going on and on....where you're telling your book "ok, I get the point already--move on!"

Outstanding

Love the series, Susan Erickson is Eve Dallas👍👍One of the most captivating and enthralling stories to date❤️❤️

One of the extraordinary novels from J.D. Robb

What I love about the "in death" series is the stories are compelling and hold my interest, but the personal relationships that evolve with time is probably what keeps me coming back for more. The story about corruption on the police force is riveting alone, but add the danger for Peabody and Dallas and you have a "cannot put it down listen". Want more from Eve and the gang!

One of the best J.D. Robb books!

Those who gave this book a low rating obviously are not familiar with the history of Eve Dallas! The fist fight seen was one of the best of all her books because with all the technology available to them it was great to see them use basic skills. I loved the support from her fellow cops during that sceen and found it hilarious to the point of laughing out loud!

Treachery In Death

One of Robb's best ever.. excellent narration by S Erickson.... you will not be disappointed if you are a fan of this series.

Book 32 of the Best Series Ever!

The 'In Death' series, written by J.D. Robb & narrated by Susan Ericksen, is a futuristic suspense series. The story is set in mid-21st-century New York City & it centers around Lieutenant Eve Dallas & her billionaire husband, Roarke.

My husband & I both love all of the J.D. Robb, 'In Death' series. We first began listening to them when they were on CDs. We've listened to the entire series, in order, three times so far! If we're driving somewhere, you can be sure Eve, Roarke, Peabody, McNab, Capt. Feeney, Mavis, Dr. Mira, Nadine, Summerset & the rest of the gang are in the truck with us. We love all of the major characters & look forward, with anticipation, to the new audiobooks that come out in February & September every year!

If you're looking for an awesome mystery series, a little romance with a bit of the futuristic thrown in, then you'll love this series! Believe me, you just can't go wrong, but be warned... once you get started, you'll be hooked!

Great Book!!!

This book reminds me of "promises in death" which I loved. This is even better.
