Thankless in Death

Publisher Marketing: The year 2060 is drawing to a close, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It s a time for loved ones to come together. But sometimes the deepest hatreds seethe within the closest relationships, and blood flows faster than water. . . . For Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD, the job is a useful reminder of what she has to be grateful for this season. Hosting Roarke s big Irish family for the holiday may be challenging, but it s a joyful improvement on her own dark childhood. Other couples aren t as lucky as Eve and Roarke. The Reinholds, for example, are lying on the floor of their Downing Street apartment, stabbed and bludgeoned almost beyond recognition. Those who knew them are stunned and even more heartbroken by the overwhelming evidence that they were murdered by their own son. Twenty-six-year-old Jerry hadn t exactly made a good impression on all the bosses who fired him or the girlfriend who dumped him but they didn t think he was capable of this. Turns out Jerry is not only capable of brutality but taking a liking to it. With the money he s stolen from his parents, and a long list of grievances, he intends to finally make his mark on the world. Eve and her team already know the who, how, and why of this murder. What they need to pinpoint is where Jerry s going to strike next."
