The Pledge
批評家のレビュー
"Terrific. Riveting. Heartbreaking. A police procedural like none you’ve ever read. The Pledge is a devastating story of the depth of vengeance, the passion of motherhood, and the shattering power of belief - gorgeously structured and brilliantly written. The incredibly talented Kathleen Kent has created a haunting, dark, and original character...and gives the iconic Detective Betty an unforgettably personal story. Calling Hollywood - this is instantly cinematic and completely compelling. Do not miss this!" (Hank Phillippi Ryan, best-selling author of Her Perfect Life)
“The Pledge is the terrific adrenaline punch you’d expect for the grand finale of Kathleen Kent’s Edgar-nominated trilogy starring Betty Rhyzyk, who is as iconic a crime fighter as Kent is a crime writer. Kent delivers every time, raising Texas hell in a voice as crisp and meaty as chicken-fried steak. If you haven’t yet met this high-octane series, grab The Dime, The Burn, and The Pledge for your next binge - I promise you won’t come up for air until you’ve become a Betty fan for life.” (Julia Heaberlin, best-selling author of We Are All the Same in the Dark)
"Kent's Dallas setting is so meticulously drawn that one can practically smell the streets, the sour odor of the street people. All of her characters are memorable, and not a single one, even the minor characters, is less than three dimensional." (New York Journal of Books)
あらすじ・解説
In this "instantly cinematic and completely compelling" thriller (Hank Phillippi Ryan), Detective Betty has only two weeks to take down her deadliest rival - this time for good.
Things are looking up for Detective Betty Rhyzyk. She’s settled into a happy marriage and been promoted to sergeant in the Dallas Police Department. But when a hostage stand-off puts her on the phone with legendary cartel leader The Knife, things take a turn. The Knife has heard a rival is making a play for the streets of Dallas - none other than Evangeline Roy. The matriarch of a ruthless cult, Evangeline also happens to hold a personal vendetta against Betty. So who better to draw Evangeline out of hiding? Betty’s got two weeks to catch her. Or else.
With Betty’s young charge Mary Grace already missing - having left her seven-month-old baby behind in Betty’s care - and the drug dealers of Dallas donning strange red wigs and delivering cryptic messages, Betty’s in a race for answers. With the clock ticking down, it will take everything she’s got to finally put an end to Evangeline’s reign of terror and to keep her beloved Dallas - and her own family - safe at last.
