Treachery In Death (Unabridged ed)

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. Determined to start working out as hard as she grills suspects, Peabody 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.

It doesn't take long for Peabody to realize that both officers are crooked - guilty not just of corruption but of murder as well.

Now Peabody and Eve 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.
