Brooklyn’s toughest female detective takes on Dallas in this ‘violent, sexy, and completely absorbing’ novel (Kirkus), the final book in the acclaimed Betty Rhyzyk series.
Things are looking up for Detective Betty Rhyzyk. She’s settled into a happy marriage and been promoted to Sergeant in the Dallas Police Department. But when a hostage stand-off puts her on the phone with legendary cartel leader The Knife, things take a turn. A rival is making a play for the Knife’s territory: none other than Evangeline Roy. The matriarch of a ruthless cult, Evangeline also holds a personal vendetta against Betty. So who better to draw Evangeline out of hiding? Betty’s got two weeks to catch her. Or else.
With the drug dealers of Dallas donning strange red wigs and delivering cryptic messages, Betty’s in a race for answers. As the clock ticks down, it will take everything she’s got to finally put an end to Evangeline’s reign of terror, and to keep her beloved Dallas – and her own family – safe at last.
