Treachery in Death by J.D. Robb (2011)

Just needed something to keep me awake on a couple of night drives, and police Lt. Eve Dallas with her sidekick Peabody and computer wiz husband Roark manage to do this. Only (!) two deaths during the course of the book, lots of techno outmaneuvering. I like the maturing of Dallas' relationship with Roark, where they actually take a walk in the garden and talk about putting a fish pond. Peabody gets to be primary on one of the homicides, so she too is evolving. But this is after she overhears two cops discussing a deal of theirs that has gone sour. Eve takes on removing the corruption from the department. Somehow Roberts/Robb can never finish one of these books without Eve getting in a physical fight - this time a cat fight. Ah well, kept me from falling asleep at the wheel.
