A Darker Justice

For Assistant District Attorney Mary Crow, the misty mountains of Little Jump Off, North Carolina, still echo with secrets hidden in shallow graves. Now, at the request of the FBI, she is called back from Atlanta to her childhood home for a matter both professional ... and deeply personal. Three federal judges are dead ' victims of an assassin so swift and skilled in the deadly arts that the only clue left behind is his trademark black feather. The killer's last victim was executed in a fashion so brazen, brutal, and horrifying, it even has hardened law enforcement officials rattled. They are desperate to protect the next suspected target ' Judge Irene Hannah ' but the stubborn jurist has adamantly refused federal protection. It is up to Mary ' and tight-lipped, hard-boiled FBI agent Daniel Safer ' to protect her old friend and mentor as best they can. But the threat is much closer to home than Mary could ever imagine. When Judge Hannah disappears, Mary must follow her on a terrifying chase through the Carolina wilderness she knows and loves. Deep within the beautiful and treacherous forest, a rogue killer and his army of 'soldiers' are waiting. Soon Mary will have to confront a battle for survival in a place where there is no law and no mercy ... only a darker justice. From the Hardcover edition.

A Darker Justice

Chapter One

Deckard Hills Country Club Atlanta, Georgia December 23

"Come on, Mary. You haven't danced with me in years." With a broad grin, Wyatt Prentiss held out his hand. Behind him, the Darktown Strutters Jazz Machine launched into a sinuous version of "Brazil," a trio of trombones keeping the hot, pulsating rhythm at a slow boil.

Mary Crow smiled. How could she refuse? The Strutters were Atlanta's most seductive band - when they played, everyone not confined to a wheelchair jumped to their feet and moved to the beat. She grabbed Wyatt's hand and together they rode the music like a wave, gliding across the floor, holding each other tight.

"Who'd have thought anybody would get married the day before Christmas Eve?" Wyatt turned Mary in a tight, sexy circle that brought the bride and groom into her view. Mary's oldest and dearest friend, Alexandria McCrimmon, now Mrs. Charles Ensley Carter, was dancing with her new husband. Though the Latin music throbbed around them, they danced their own private sway in the middle of the room, laughing and kissing at the same time.
