Vengeance In Death
(Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb)
A sadistic sociopath with an unholy mission challenges a homicide detective to a deadly game of catch-me-if-you-can in the not so distant future.During her career as a cop, Lieutenant Eve Dallas has seen men commit murder for pride, pleasure and sometimes, just to prove a point. The motive for her latest case seems to be a combination of all three. A killer has been stalking and torturing his victims while taunting the police with cryptic clues. He takes an eye from each of his victims and leaves a small token with a fish on one side and a four leaf clover on the other at the scene of the crime. He calls himself the angel of vengeance. He intends to kill 9 in his twisted quest for revenge and the last victim will be Roarke, Eve?s husband.Roarke grew up on the streets of Dublin. He survived by his wits, outmaneuvering his abusive father, the corrupt cops and the criminal underworld. All parties concerned were content to ignore him, until he began to rival the local syndicate. They tried to force him to join their organization, but he refused. They took their revenge by torturing and murdering a young girl Roarke knew, Marlena Somerset (only daughter of the man who saved Roarke?s life and provided the closest thing to family he ever knew). Eventually, Roarke hunted down the culprits and exacted justice for the girl he considered his sister. Years later, someone is killing the ones who helped Roarke find the syndicate leaders and framing Somerset for the murders.It appears Roarke missed someone all those years ago; someone who has waited a long time to even the score. But someone forgot to add a father (devoted to his remaining child) and a cop (determined to save her husband) to the equation.
