Another freebie in this Skip Langdon series.
Quote:
The Jury’s a national vigilante organization out to get the bad guys “who escaped prosecution”--and there’s a Crescent City Connection. From across the South, the players in the unfolding drama come together--a pretty college student on the run, a monk who's packed a lifetime's worth of misery into a few years, a mother widowed by a shot Detective Skip Langdon fired in self-defense, and a madman with a murderous agenda.
Sure, New Orleans is known for corruption, but suddenly the good guys get a break—an honest police chief. And then someone guns him down. When The Jury takes out the cop-killer, Detective Skip Langdon’s on the case. But no one cares! After all, the guy was a cop-killer.
Skip cares really a lot—because she suspects The Jury’s the brainchild of her old nemesis, self-described preacher Errol Jacomine. As an added complication, Jacomine’s sent his crazy son Daniel to kidnap his own daughter, Jacomine’s granddaughter Lovelace, who escapes and runs to her Uncle Isaac, an artist known as The White Monk.. Isaac’s taken a vow of silence, but uncle and niece manage to communicate and form a bond that could save both their lives. And Langdon comes up with a plan so clever even the FBI can’t shout her down.
