Lieutenant Eve Dallas faces one of her ugliest cases when she goes up against another officer who is just about her antithesis; the privileged daughter of a well-respected commander, she's nonetheless a dirty cop using the badge for her own ends. The focus here was more on the case than Eve's personal life, but there's enough interaction with her husband and friends to add spice and some sweetness to the story, and I really felt the love in quiet moments between Eve and Roarke. Robb's tart writing makes it a solidly enjoyable read, although the diatribes about good cops vs. bad cops got a little old.
