It was the perfect job for newly engaged Private Investigator Mallory Dimante and she thought so…
… right up until the moment the black bag was slipped over her head.
The instructions for the job had been simple. 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.
It would only take… a few hours.
Simple.
She and partner Jake Steiner 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. Preparing for her wedding, Mallory’s security precautions against vengeance had faded.
Yet hate doesn’t die in those scorned. It simmers with an acid-like loathing.
And the Widow Black has guaranteed Mallory Dimante’s wedding day is one she will live or die to regret.
For Jake, the clues to Mallory’s disappearance have led nowhere. It has rapidly become an unsolvable mystery to locate the woman he loves and a race against the certain end for Mallory as she is now at the mercy of the most horrifying, evil woman she’s ever met. And when they collide it is uncertain whether either will come out unscathed… or even alive.
Wickedly menacing and mercilessly relentless, THE WIDOW BLACK, Award-wining author C.J. Booth’s 3rd book in the Diamond & Stone Mystery Series rips along at a breakneck pace and straps you into a skin-ripping showdown.
