Series: In Death #11
Rating: 8/10

I usually go with a 9/10 rating for Roberts' In Death books, but something about the story irritated me. Maybe it was all the cops thinking that Eve was so horrible for cleaning up a corrupt precinct. Basically, an undercover cop gets killed at a club called Purgatory. At first it seems like he was a dirty cop who was punished by some vigilante, but the corruption goes deep into the 128th precinct and cutting through the muck is harder than expected because the Internal Affairs Bureau is involved.

Most amusing Eve-Roarke thing in the book? Don Webster of IAB and former romantic interest of Eve lets his lingering feelings show, and Roarke doesn't take kindly to this puppy drooling on his territory. Fight! Fight! Fight!

Eh, not one of my favorite Eve books, but still entertaining.
