With a Vengeance (The Zoe Chambers Mysteries #4)
by Annette Dashofy“Look out world, you’re going to love Zoe Chambers and Pete Adams” in the USA Today–bestselling series from the author of Bridges Burned (Donnell Ann Bell, bestselling author of Buried Agendas). Paramedic Zoe Chambers and the rest of rural Monongahela County’s EMS and fire personnel are used to wading into the middle of trouble to rescue the sick and the injured. But when someone with an ax to grind seeks retribution by staging accident scenes and gunning down the first responders, Zoe finds herself forced to not only treat her own brethren of the front lines, but also, in her role as deputy coroner, seek out whoever is killing her friends. At the same time, Vance Township Police Chief Pete Adams races to track down a gun, a mysterious all-terrain vehicle, and the sniper before Zoe goes back on duty, placing herself—and Pete—firmly in the gunman’s crosshairs. “Dashofy has created a charmer of a protagonist in Zoe Cambers. She’s smart, she’s sexy, she’s vulnerably romantic, and she’s one hell of a paramedic on the job.” —Kathleen George, Edgar nominated author of the Pittsburgh Police Series “New York has McBain, Boston has Parker, now Vance Township, PA (‘pop. 5000. Please Drive Carefully.’) has Annette Dashofy, and her rural world is just as vivid and compelling as their city noir.” —John Lawton, author of the Inspector Troy Series “It is the kind of book you don’t put down, not even for a second.” —A Chick Who Reads
