V is for Vengeance-------pan macmillan
Las Vegas, 1986. A young college graduate is murdered when he is
unable to pay back a loan funded by notorious criminal Lorenzo Dante.
Two
years later private investigator Kinsey Millhone finds herself
assisting to apprehend a shoplifter - Audrey Vance - in a shopping
centre. Events take a much darker turn when Audrey's body is discovered
beneath the Cold Spring Bridge, a local suicide spot.
Unable to
believe she took her own life, Audrey's fiancé Marvin Striker hires
Kinsey to investigate. It soon emerges that the shoplifter had become
caught up in a much larger operation.
Meanwhile Lorenzo Dante has
begun to grow weary of his life in organised crime and frustrated with
his violent and impulsive younger brother Cappi. While the police net
begins to close in on him, Dante meets the beautiful Nora, who exerts a
powerful pull over the gangster.
As Kinsey’s enquiries reach a
dramatic head, it becomes clear that she and Dante have one thing in
common – they must be careful who they trust . . .
