[The Slater Mysteries 04] • Slater's Vendetta

Eric Slater is a big guy with a lot of heart. Normally he wouldn't hurt a fly, but don't mess with the people he cares about. A street gang has moved into the old neighborhood, selling drugs and leaving their mark everywhere. When Slater steps in to help a woman being harassed by a gang member, he makes a dangerous enemy, and befriends a small boy.

Slater and Maggie are both suspects when the woman is found dead, but there are plenty of other possibilities. A billion dollar land deal, a victim with an expensive drug habit, and a grizzled police detective that might be on the take; all offer plenty of intrigue. But when the ten year old boy he's befriended is kidnapped, Slater goes after the leader of the street-gang, and it's up to Maggie to prevent another murder.
