Reviews
"Detective Betty is one of my favorite queer characters in crime fiction. The Pledge is fiery and propulsive . . . bring[ing] her story to a satisfying conclusion full of twists, tension, and emotional resonance."-- Kristen Lepionka, author of The Last Place You Look, "Harsh, violent reality is the daily fare for Dallas police detective Betty Rhyzyk, the narrator of Kathleen Kent's satisfying The Burn ."-- The Wall Street Journal, "Kent continues to reinvent and subvert traditional noir expectations with the larger-than-life, damaged, courageous Betty. . . . Action-driven mystery anchored by dynamic, deep characters."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred), "Kent's Dallas setting is so meticulously drawnthat one can practically smell the streets, the sour odor of the street people.All of her characters are memorable, and not a single one, even the minorcharacters, is less than three dimensional."-- New York Journal of Books, "A suspensefulmystery right up until the end --- and an effective exploration of trauma andits ongoing repercussions, not only for survivors but also for those who careabout, and for, them."-- BookReporter, " The Pledge is a thrilling last dance with the formidable Betty Rhyzyk." -- Steph Cha, author of Your House Will Pay, " The Pledge is the terrific adrenaline punch you'd expect for the grand finale of Kathleen Kent's Edgar-nominated trilogy starring Betty Rhyzyk, who is as iconic a crime fighter as Kent is a crime writer. Kent delivers every time, raising Texas hell in a voice as crisp and meaty as chicken-fried steak. If you haven't yet met this high-octane series, grab The Dime , The Burn , and The Pledge for your next binge--I promise you won't come up for air until you've become a Betty fan for life."-- Julia Heaberlin, bestselling author of We Are All the Same in the Dark, "Deeply satisfying . . . [Betty is] an obsessive, borderline unstable, fascinating, Brooklyn-born seeker of truth. . . . With Betty Rhyzyk, Kathleen Kent brings those mean streets to life as excitingly as anybody has in years."-- The Washington Post, "Strong women, sharp dialogue, and a vulnerable, kick-ass heroine combine for another satisfying adventure."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Gripping . . . Briskly paced, The Burn barely allows the reader to take a breath as believable twists careen throughout."-- Oline Cogdill , Associated Press

Synopsis
In this "instantly cinematic and completely compelling" thriller (Hank Phillippi Ryan), Detective Betty has only two weeks to take down her deadliest rival--this time for good. "The terrific adrenaline punch you'd expect for the grand finale of Kathleen Kent's Edgar-nominated trilogy." --Julia Heaberlin Things are looking up for Detective Betty Rhyzyk. She's settled into a happy marriage and been promoted to Sergeant in the Dallas Police Department. But when a hostage stand-off puts her on the phone with legendary cartel leader The Knife, things take a turn. The Knife has heard a rival is making a play for the streets of Dallas--none other than Evangeline Roy. The matriarch of a ruthless cult, Evangeline also happens to hold a personal vendetta against Betty. So who better to draw Evangeline out of hiding? Betty's got two weeks to catch her. Or else. With Betty's young charge Mary Grace already missing--having left her seven-month-old baby behind in Betty's care--and the drug dealers of Dallas donning strange red wigs and delivering cryptic messages, Betty's in a race for answers. With the clock ticking down, it will take everything she's got to finally put an end to Evangeline's reign of terror, and to keep her beloved Dallas--and her own family--safe at last. "I read this book in a compulsive binge . . . Betty Rhyzyk won't soon be forgotten by crime readers." --Sarah Weinman, New York Times Book Review "Riveting." -- The Washington Post "A police procedural like none you've ever read." --Hank Phillippi Ryan "A thrilling last dance with the formidable Betty Rhyzyk." --Steph Cha "Detective Betty is one of my favorite queer characters in crime fiction. The Pledge is fiery and propulsive."--Kristen Lepionka
