Revenge

Revenge is a crime thriller—John Steinbeck and Lee Child in a fistfight. Twists and turns around every corner. It answers the age-old question: How far will someone go to seek the ultimate revenge? Paul Sheldon, a distinguished ex-detective on the Farmsville Police Department, is persuaded by his old protégée, the young and beautiful Valerie Evangelista, to help with a case her overbearing boss has dropped on her. There’s only one problem: Sheldon wants nothing to do with it. As a ruined man whose son has died of a drug overdose and whose wife has left him, he wants only to drown his sorrows in a bottle of alcohol. However, when Valerie discovers that her suspect is the same person who has sold Sheldon’s son the drugs that killed him, the case becomes personal, and Sheldon agrees to help. Now, together again, mentor and protégée must use their combined skill to find the ruthless Charles Stone before it is too late.
