Vengeance Squared Ginna Leatherbury

Imagine getting a phone call from the chief of police telling you to postpone your vacation, that the son of a prominent businessman has been gruesomely killed on his wedding day, literally falling from the chapel bell tower while his bride is standing just below, waiting to walk down the aisle. DETECTIVE XAVIER KING (known as X) doesn?t have to imagine it; he is living it. Within hours, he finds himself leading the investigation while having to deal with a cop with a real attitude problem (and that?s his best feature.) When mistaken trust and loyalty lead to tragic consequences, X is left to pick up the pieces of the shattered investigation. Fresh clues lead him to the person who fastidiously planned the groom?s murder. But instead of solving the case, it gets exponentially more complicated. Because there is another killer involved. Same victim, same time, same place. Different motive, different means. And equally depraved. When X learns that both belong to a secret organization founded on the perversion of centuries of religious history, where murder is an art form and members participate in games of one-upmanship in order to gain power, he follows the trail to Europe. What he finds could not have been predicted ? but can it be survived?
