Two days before their wedding Private Investigator Mallory Dimante kissed her investigative partner and fiancée, Jake Steiner goodbye.
Not forever.
At least... that was the plan.
The instructions for the job were simple. And for Mallory, they were ideal. Attend a will-reading. Observe the heirs. Report back their reactions. It had to be a female investigator, to blend in, the letter had said. And the expenses were all prepaid.
She had longed to prove herself as more than a competent investigator. And, if truth be told, notch up, also, in the eyes of Jake, ten years her senior and former Sacramento Police detective.
Now, along comes the perfect job.
It would only take… a few hours.
Expenses… prepaid.
A few hours.
Simple.
Until… Mallory Dimante went missing.
Her car, abandoned, half-on, half-off the road. Skid marks. Driver door open. Wallet, cash, credit cards all there.
She and Jake had been warned about the vindictive fervor and irrational devotion of the followers of Honorable Honey Stern, the former Presidential candidate, whom Mallory had months ago exposed to the world as a serial pedophile. But time had passed. Nothing had occurred. Jake and Mallory’s security precautions against vengeance had waned.
Yet hate didn’t die in those scorned. It simmered with an acid-like hatred.
Until revenge could be exacted.
Until consequences could be addressed.
And the Widow Black has guaranteed Mallory Dimante’s wedding day is one she will live or die to regret.
Wickedly menacing and mercilessly relentless, C.J. Booth’s 3rd book in the Diamond & Stone Mystery Series rips along - a race against the certain end for Mallory, an unsolvable mystery for Jake to locate the woman he loves, but most of all… pitting Mallory Dimante against the most horrifying, evil woman she’s ever met
Genre: Mystery
