Treachery in Death by Nora Roberts (2011, Hardcover)

Synopsis
New York Police and Security Lt. Eve Dallas and her partner Det. Delia Peabody take on corruption within their own ranks in J.D. Robb's 33rd novel in this reliably entertaining series. It is interesting to watch Delia, who is still new to the game, learn the ropes-- giving Eve a chance to show off of a bit, which is never a bad thing. And the cops' investigation is a claustrophobic and intense, since the enemies could be friends.

Publisher's Note
In the latest from the #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon, Eve Dallas tracks down those who break the law-including the ones sworn to uphold it.

Detective Eve Dallas and her partner, Peabody, are following up on a senseless crime-an elderly grocery owner killed by three stoned punks for nothing more than kicks and snacks. This is Peabody's first case as primary detective-good thing she learned from the master.

But Peabody soon stumbles upon a trickier situation. After a hard workout, she's all alone in the locker room when the gym door clatters open; and-while hiding inside a shower stall trying not to make a sound-she overhears two fellow officers, Garnet and Oberman, arguing. It doesn't take long to realize they're both crooked-guilty not just of corruption but of murder. Now Peabody, Eve, and Eve's husband, Roarke, are trying to get the hard evidence they need to bring the dirty cops down-knowing all the while that the two are willing to kill to keep their secret.

Investigating the senseless killing of an elderly man by three drug-addled punks, Peabody tackles the case as a new primary detective before stumbling on an operation by two corrupt fellow officers who have just committed a murder. By the author of Indulgence in Death. 750,000 first printing.
