In this "instantly cinematic and completely compelling" thriller (Hank Phillippi Ryan), Detective Betty has only two weeks to take down her deadliest rivalโthis time for good.
โTheย terrific adrenaline punch youโd expect for the grand finale of Kathleen Kentโs Edgar-nominated trilogy.โย โJulia Heaberlin
Things are looking up for Detective Betty Rhyzyk. Sheโs 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 Dallasโnone 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? Bettyโs got two weeks to catch her. Or else.
With Bettyโs young charge Mary Grace already missingโhaving left her seven-month-old baby behind in Bettyโs careโand the drug dealers of Dallas donning strange red wigs and delivering cryptic messages, Bettyโs in a race for answers. With the clock ticking down, it will take everything sheโs got to finally put an end to Evangelineโs reign of terror, and to keep her beloved Dallasโand her own familyโsafe at last.
"I read this book in a compulsive binge . . .ย Betty Rhyzyk wonโt soon be forgotten by crime readers."ย โSarah Weinman, New York Times Book Review
"Riveting."ย โThe Washington Post
"A police procedural like none youโve ever read." โHank Phillippi Ryan
โAย thrilling last dance with the formidable Betty Rhyzyk.โ โSteph Chaโ
โDetective Betty is one of my favorite queer characters in crime fiction. The Pledge is fiery and propulsive.โโKristen Lepionka
