We are very pleased and excited to announce the publication of Vengeance, the author's eighth novel. In Westchester County, only twelve miles separate the Town of Dobbs and the City of Vernon, but the two are world's apart. Dobbs is charming, wealthy, and white. Vernon is gritty, diverse, crime-ridden, and poor. In the last months of 1993, escalating violence surrounding the town's infamous abortion clinic traumatizes Dobbs, and a vicious serial rapist terrorizes the community. Vernon barely takes notice when a triple-homicide wipes out a young family, a commonplace occurrence in the city.

Lieutenant Carmine Rinaldi is tasked with solving the murders. When his daughter, Donna, becomes a victim of the rapist, his priorities shift. The attack shatters Donna's world. When she finds out she is pregnant, a difficult decision must be made. She seeks the advice of Dr. Gary Graham, the owner of the abortion clinic. Unbeknown to either of them, a Pro-Life fanatic plans to destroy the clinic and anyone inside. Although worlds apart, the hunt for the murderers in Vernon and the pursuit of the rapist in Dobbs intertwine, testing Rinaldi's resolve. On the same day Donna is scheduled for her procedure at the clinic, the terrorist puts his explosive plan in motion.

The murderers, the rapist, and the bomber all weigh heavily on Carmine's mind. Rinaldi thirsts for revenge. But he knows, Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord!
