Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.

Book Info: Vengeance In Death by J.D. Robb. Originally published by Berkley in 1997.

The past links to the present and readers are finally given a glimpse into the reality of Roarke's past. We already know about the horrific death of Summerset's daughter Marlena, but here we learn about Roarke's revenge. We see Roarke and Eve head off to Dublin and even meet some of the friends from Roarke's early adventures.

This case hits closer to home than any other since Mavis. The murderer is setting up Summerset as a fall guy and Eve must prove his innocence. The rivalry between the two come to a head, yet Eve still works to prove his innocence. As usual, Eve comes close to to dying, this time she is almost blown up.

The big things:
Readers get to meet IAN MCNABB

and

Peabody's new nickname is born: She-body.

Ian is the EDD detective that steps in while Feeney is away on vacation with his family. (Eve has sent Feeney and his family to their house in Mexico.) Ian is a skinny, slave to fashion. He is also the golden boy of the EDD division. though he is young, he's almost almost as good as Feeney and he idolizes Roarke's equipment. He and Peabody do not get along, but Ian definitely appreciates the way Pea-body fills out her uniform.
