Dirty cops. Eve Dallas feels strongly about cops who use
their badge, their authority, for their own gain. She may find that fine line
between right and wrong blurred at times, since meeting Roarke, but any questionable
behaviour on her part has always been to see justice is done, not for personal
power or gain.
Peabody finds herself in a dangerous situation, and informs
Dallas. Suddenly their sense of trust and safety within Cop Central is
shattered. Going against a fellow lieutenant, Dallas has to wonder again why
someone who grew up with every advantage, in a good and loving home, goes bad.
Dallas suffered such abuse as a child, yet all she wanted
was to no longer feel like a victim, but instead to help others who are
victimized.
I like that Roarke, with all his money, with his cultured
persona, marries a woman who has no use for money. He has a need to shower her
with gifts, which she finds embarrassing. Jewels and clothes are not her thing;
though she has become accustomed to living in that castle they call a home,
with the food and coffee.
Roarke has finally figured out the perfect gifts for his
wife. A car that looks like the usual ‘crap cop’ ride, but is loaded on the
inside. He’s tired of seeing his wife hurt because her car can’t protect her.
I find the author keeps these books interesting because of
the intriguing murder story, but also because of the ever changing
relationships between all the characters.
