Books like New York to Dallas by Nora Roberts
Eve Dallas, a seasoned homicide lieutenant in New York, has built a reputation as one of the city’s best officers.

Years later, McQueen escapes from jail and charts a path to Dallas, Texas—Eve’s childhood home where she once killed her abusive monster. Determined to exact revenge and punish additional victims, McQueen’s arrival forces Eve and fellow detective Roarke to pursue him across state lines while confronting buried secrets from Eve’s past.
The novel weaves a tense police procedural with deeper themes of trauma, justice, and the personal cost of a life served on the police beat.
