Emmet Thornton

The Long Sting Emmet Thornton

Only one thing could cause lawyer Nick Darcy to turn down parole from his twenty year sentence--revenge. Eve seduced Nick to murder her wealthy husband with blistering sex and promises of living in luxury on his dime. Then she ratted him out to the cops.

Everyone thought the charred remains found in Eve's kitchen after the fire were hers. Nick spent many years in prison tormented by the question: is Eve still alive? Now free and committed to hunting her down, Nick enlists his former law school classmate, now Assistant Deputy Attorney, Pat Dunlop for help. Nick seeks revenge: Dunlop wants a conviction for career advancement. While tracing Eve's steps, it becomes obvious that someone else is following the same trail. Who could it be?

Is Eve still alive? Where is she? Who will find her? Who will survive...and who won't?

Thus begins a tale of treachery, sex, murder, money and corruption.
