Detective Kay Delaney returns and this time, she's looking
for one of her own. Policewoman Micky Luttrell vanished
after getting off-duty as an undercover prostitute.
Unfortunately, prostitutes have been disappearing and if
the same person has taken Micky, the future doesn't look
good.
Daryl Eugene Wardell doesn't know his latest victim is a
policewoman until he sees a story on the news. While it may
bring more attention his way, he really has no fear anyone
will catch him. After all, he's been torturing and killing
women for years and no one has ever questioned his
involvement. Besides, he can't give up his latest toy.
Delaney joins forces with her former lover, Danny Finnerty
(Finn), and refuses to assume Micky is dead. She will find
the policewoman. But she has no idea she's facing one of
the most evil killers of her career.
Daryl Eugene Wardell is in a league occupied by only a few
sadistic killers -- one of which would be Hannibal Lector.
Ms. Haus creates a chilling realism in BLUE JUSTICE that
will have you calling the alarm company, locking doors and
possibly checking into classes to carry concealed weapons.
Very, very haunting and disturbing. Oh, did I mention
excellent? Great characters (love Delaney and Finn),
excellent writing and a scary, scary plot -- what more do
you want?
Illona Haus's grittiest, most riveting
thriller yet -- the third novel featuring Detective Kay
Delaney -- takes readers into the twisted mind of a serial
rapist and on a desperate hunt for the detective he has
brutally abducted.
They don't know
if she's alive....
He had seen her in his dreams,
knew she was the one. But when Daryl Eugene Wardell
kidnaps her -- his next victim in a long line of female
prey -- he thinks she is just another hooker no one will
miss. He hadn't counted on her being a cop, tough as
nails, with the entire Baltimore police force fighting for
her survival.
But they'll do anything it
takes to find her.
In the midst of the biggest crime
wave ever to hit the city, Detective Kay Delaney is struck
with shattering news. One of her own, Detective Micky
Luttrell, has vanished during an undercover sting as a
prostitute. With little evidence to go on, the determined
Kay is handpicked to work with her former lover, Danny
Finnerty, to find Micky's abductor. Putting all else
aside, Kay will do whatever it takes to rescue her fellow
officer from the torturous clutches of a sadistic killer --
who defies everything she thought she knew about the most
twisted side of human nature.
