An explosive crime thriller form a best-selling author.
Synopsis
PI Vincent Delaney thought he was done with the NOPD until a string of seemingly unrelated child murders brings an unexpected invitation from the FBI, and his old boss.
A serial killer is roaming the South, preying on children appearing in pageants, and the police want him to go undercover using his own family. Accepting would mean lying to people he loves and maybe even putting them in harm’s way.
In Baton Rouge, a violent criminal has escaped and is seeking revenge for the brother Delaney shot dead. But Delaney isn’t going anywhere. He has unfinished business.
Meanwhile, north of the French Quarter, shopkeepers are being extorted and ask for Delaney’s help. Extortion is a matter for the police.
But what do you do when those responsible are the police? Delaney has his work cut out and he’ll be lucky if he makes it out of this alive…
MoMoBookDiary Review
I was excited to read that Owen Mullen was releasing a new book in a different setting, a new series set in New Orleans which makes this book very different to the Charlie Cameron series set in Glasgow.
Delaney finds himself involved with tracking down a serial killer targeting young kids at beauty pageants. I found it an uncomfortable read at times which had me gripped from the start. An intriguing story which had me watching people I passed in the street as it was always on my mind…. even days after finishing the book.
Highly recommended reading from the very talented author.
