Part of In Death, book 57
First published 2023
Lt. Eve Dallas arrives at a crime scene that hits close to home. Martin Greenleaf, a former Internal Affairs captain, lies dead from a gunshot wound in his residence. The scene appears staged as suicide, but Dallas suspects something more deliberate at work. Greenleaf spent forty-seven years policing the police, building a long list of officers he investigated and removed from duty. Dallas must determine whether the veteran captain finally succumbed to the psychological toll of his demanding career, or whether someone from his past decided to settle an old score. As she digs deeper into Greenleaf's history, Dallas confronts the possibility that this death represents calculated revenge against a man who made many enemies during his decades of rooting out corruption within the force.
