Which is deadlier—the deaths he can’t forget or the danger she can’t remember?
About the
Book: US Marshal Jack
Thorne joined the DARK antiterrorism task force for one reason—to exact revenge
on the smuggler responsible for the tragedy that continues to haunt him. While
on vacation in Italy, Sophie Rinaldi overhears her host plotting to sell
weapons-grade uranium to terrorists. She flees, but the man attempts to run her
down with his car. She ends up in the hospital with the last crucial weeks
erased from her mind—and still a target for murder. To determine what she
knows, whether as an accomplice or a witness, Jack must keep her safe.
If she regains her memory,
what she knows could destroy them both…
Our
Review: In the
concluding novel of the DARK Files series, the author delivers the epitome of
tortured heroes to the reader. Dedicated to his job and as well as his crusade for
revenge for the child he lost at the hands of a terrorist, Jack keeps his anger
and pain buried beneath a hard shell while protecting a woman who could be
another innocent victim of the same terrorist—or in on his latest scheme to
traumatize the world.
Amnesia, a common trope used by novelists, often runs the same old-same
old line—not with Dark Justice. Vaughan shows in minute detail the slow
return of Sophie’s memory and how it impacts the outcome of the story. The
adventure begins in Venice, offering the reader an in-depth description of the
canals and thoroughfares, then takes the reader into the Italian countryside with
an off-the-track view of rural life in a country most of us will never visit.
As always, author Vaughan writes what she knows, and this one is a real treat.
Based on a
scale of 1-5, Dark Justice merits a 7.
