Robert Bryndza’s latest installment in the Detective Erika Foster series, “Lethal Vengeance,” throws Erika headfirst into a chilling serial killer case that’s unlike any she’s faced before. The novel opens with a seemingly straightforward death – politician Neville Lomas is found deceased in his home. But alarm bells start ringing when two more high-profile victims, a casting director and a footballer, are discovered murdered in a similar fashion, bound and hogtied. The connection becomes undeniable – London has a serial killer on the loose.
However, the investigation takes a sharp turn when CCTV footage reveals five potential suspects: quintuplets, identical in appearance. Erika and her team are tasked with identifying the killer from this baffling pool of possibilities. But their pursuit is hampered by the Met’s higher-ups, who seem overly eager to shut down certain avenues of investigation. As the body count rises, Erika uncovers a web of corruption that reaches far beyond the initial murders. A mysterious informant, an elusive sex worker with compromising secrets, throws another wrench into the case, putting Erika at odds with the authorities who fear the scandal this informant could unleash.
Reviews on Goodreads praise “Lethal Vengeance” for its fast-paced, suspenseful plot that keeps readers guessing until the very end.
