The Price of Vengeance
(2018)(The third book in the Denise Aragon series)
A novel by James R Scarantino
There Is Always a Price to Pay
James R. Scarantino, praised as "insanely talented" by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline, presents the next thrilling Denise Aragon Mystery
Detective Denise Aragon finds herself in the middle of a desperate standoff she may have caused with a single phrase: take him out. On one side is Peter Cervantes, her grieving friend and now a hostage-taker who blames the deaths of his sons on the grand schemes of powerful politicians. On the other side is a United States senator with a dark past whose family is being held at gunpoint by Cervantes.
The FBI targets Aragon as an accomplice to kidnapping and terrorism, and her only way out is to drag the senator's crimes into the light. She can only pray that the price of vengeance won't be paid in blood.
