Dalla quarta di copertina:
Praise for Eileen Dreyer and With a Vengeance
"Fast plotting, thorough research, and a swaggering-cop¿a complex, conflicted heroine, defiantly macho and yet so scarred by family violence that she refuses to use a gun even when doing so could save the lives of those she loves."
---Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Retribution, fear, and betrayal are at the heart of this intriguing novel. The hospital emergency room is drawn with frightening reality, and the ease with which a staff member can move unseen through trauma rooms to deliver fatal doses to chosen victims may instill deep fear in readers. Brightly written and with a smart but vulnerable heroine, this first appearance of Maggie O'Brien is surely not the last."
---Dallas Morning News
"Turbocharged thriller¿nonstop action and a tough babe with a heart. Top-drawer."
---Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Fans of Tess Gerritsen will enjoy."
---Library Journal
"A first-rate action-packed¿thriller."
---Midwest Book Review
"Dreyer fashions unique and memorable characters, which is her greatest strength¿will offer something to every reader. As with all of Eileen Dreyer's books, this is another keeper."
---The Mystery Reader
"With a Vengeance is replete with ambivalent characters, St. Louis's landmarks, and a challenging, intricate plot. Dreyer describes O'Brien's travails with relentless intensity, seldom pausing between assorted shootouts, violent interludes, and hostage stalemates. She ratchets up the drama to an impossibly high level, then ends with a remarkable flourish."
