Brotherhood in Death – by J.D. ROBB

Sometimes brotherhood can be another word for conspiracy. . . . JUSTICE IS SERVED. Edward Mira is a powerful man, with a lot of enemies. But when the former senator is violently abducted, Lieutenant Eve Dallas suspects his kidnap is more personal than political. Someone is seeking justice; the bloodier the better.
Edward’s cousin Dennis was injured during the abduction – and that makes things very personal for Eve and her husband Roarke. Dennis is a beloved friend, married to NYPSD’s top profiler Charlotte Mira. But as Eve delves deeper into the case, dark secrets emerge that could tear the family apart. Edward Mira has friends in high places – and they all seem to be hiding something. As her investigation takes a shocking turn, Eve finds that not all victims are innocent, and that some bonds are forged not in friendship, but in blood.

Robb in 1995, introducing to readers the tough as nails but emotionally damaged homicide cop Eve Dallas and billionaire Irish rogue, Roarke.
