Books like Vengeance in Death by Nora Roberts
Police lieutenant Eve Dallas, famed for her sharp investigative skills, is thrown into a chilling pursuit when a brilliant and violent killer stalks his victims and leaves riddles that the officers can solve only after the crimes are committed. The first murder—a brutal butcher in Dallas' own home—forces Dallas to dig deeper. A second victim dies in a vacant luxury apartment, and both men suffer horrific torture before dying. Their stories are linked by a scandalous secret from a decade ago, a secret shared by none other than Dallas' new husband, Roarke. The investigation pulls Dallas into a dangerous web of deception, revenge, and personal betrayal.
As Dallas races to solve the riddles and uncover the killer’s motives, she must confront her own past and the treacherous connections that threaten her career and her life.
