Angry Enough to Kill (The Desperate Series)

WOULD YOU MURDER TO PROTECT A CHILD? You can admit it because this is the world of psychological thrillers, the world of fiction. Loring Jeremias has it all: stunning looks, a career as a San Francisco stockbroker, and her loving husband David, a lawyer who defends the justice system—even when it fails. But she can’t forget her father’s child abuse and her angry memories threaten to destroy her marriage. During a girl's night out and way too much wine, Loring and her two best friends, outraged at society’s failure to protect our children, play at being vigilantes—they devise ten rules for committing the perfect murder. Their targets… Predatory pedophiles. Just a game? Not for long, because when Loring stalks a pedophile to test the rules of the conspiracy and her resolve, she doesn't know her target is a serial killer and tortures his victims to death. She doesn't know he spotted her following him, but when he threatens her life and David's, the hunter becomes the hunted, and it's far too late for regret. For the fans of "Dexter" and "Law and Order:SVU", and for the many parents who worry about their children's safety, ANGRY ENOUGH TO KILL fulfills their fantasies of vigilante justice. Wonderful satire. Packed with suspense and action, yet much more than mere revenge fantasy. (Book club Discussion Guide included.)
