DOWNLOAD EBOOKThird in the “memorable series that will captivate fans of police procedurals and complicated sleuths,” following Murder in Retribution (Library Journal, starred review). While Acton and Doyle, two of Scotland Yard’s finest, pursue a self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner, Acton’s own questionable methods may prove their undoing . . . The victims are all criminals who eluded justice—until they ran afoul of an avenger whose modus operandi is a bullet to the back of the head. The key to the vigilante’s identity lies in connecting the cold cases to an event that may have triggered retribution after all these years. Meanwhile, Doyle finds herself shadowed by a mysterious figure. After the man steps forward to rescue her from harm, she wonders why he is invested in protecting her. But when she learns he’s in contact with Acton’s nemesis, she fears she’s being used in a plot against her husband. The stakes are high, and both Doyle and Acton must work independently to outwit the players—before their lives are brought crashing down like a house of cards . . . “Cleeland writes with a light and witty touch, and there’s never a shortage of clever banter and interesting characters.”—Publishers Weekly Praise for the New Scotland Yard Mysteries “It’s been a long time since I encountered two characters this charming and engaging. I look forward to more of their adventures.” —David Morrell, New York Times–bestselling author of Ruler of the Night “Thrilling . . . will keep you guessing until the very last page!” —Victoria Thompson, USA Today–bestselling author of the Gaslight Mystery series
