The Pledge: Detective Betty

Autor Kathleen Kent
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 dec 1899
In this electric conclusion to the Edgar-nominated trilogy, Detective Betty has only two weeks to take down her deadliest rival--this time for good. 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. The Knife has heard a rival is making a play for the streets of Dallas--none other than Evangeline Roy. The matriarch of a ruthless cult, Evangeline also happens to hold 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 Betty's young charge Mary Grace already missing--having left her seven-month-old baby behind in Betty's care--and the drug dealers of Dallas donning strange red wigs and delivering cryptic messages, Betty's in a race for answers. With the clock ticking 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.

Recenzii

A police procedural like none you've ever read
In Edgar finalist Kent's thrilling third and final novel featuring Sgt. Betty Rhyzyk of the North Central Dallas PD (after 2020's The Burn), two of her past enemies return to Dallas, each seeking revenge... Kent does a fine job weaving the various plot strands into a satisfying and action-packed whole
I read this book in a compulsive binge because it felt physically painful to be away from the story until it was over. Betty Rhyzyk won't soon be forgotten by crime readers, but after a trilogy's worth of trauma and violence, she deserves to rest and heal from the hardships her creator put her through
A rapid page-turning police procedural... I definitely recommend to those who love action, adventure and thrills, with a great female lead!
PRAISE FOR KATHLEEN KENT: 'Kent isn't afraid to make a turn toward the macabre, and she's been doing this long enough that the words spill from the page with ease. Detective Betty remains one of the most distinctive and vivid crime fighters out there' Texas Monthly. 'One of the most breathless, inventive, and be forewarned, violent suspense plots I've read in a long time' NPR. 'Kent is an effective storyteller and an acute social observer, with a sharp eye for Texas-sized absurdities' Los Angeles Review of Books. 'Exciting [and] moving... Grisly but likeable' Wall Street Journal. 'Terrific... Kent's own ability to avoid predictable outcomes and keep the reader on edge bodes well for future installments in this series'
