The long-awaited final installment of the #1 New York Times bestselling author’s Nadia Stafford series
Since Kelley Armstrong wrapped up book two of the Nadia Stafford series, fans have been eager to know what happens to the tough-as-nails contract killer. At last, Wild Justice brings Nadia back for the series’ thrilling conclusion—an action-packed tale that will dazzle fans of the series as well as those who are only familiar with Armstrong’s bestselling paranormal books.
In Wild Justice, Nadia is confronted with her most difficult task to date: going after the man who killed her cousin Amy twenty years prior. But when it turns out that someone else has gotten to him first, she is drawn into a complex situation where everything she knows and loves is thrown into the path of danger. Nadia is forced to take matters into her own hands, ultimately requiring her to confront her darkest secrets—and her deepest desires—in a way that she never thought possible.
Armstrong's beloved Otherworld series is coming to the Syfy Channel in January 2014. Fans of that series are sure to enjoy the no holds barred action of Wild Justice.

Why the hell didn’t you take the damned shot? My reluctance to traumatize the wife and child would be silly sentimentality to her. I was paid to kill, so I should have killed.

For myself, I wouldn’t care if it meant my killer was punished. But what if there was a tape of Amy’s rape and murder? Would I want anyone to see her that way? To remember her that way?

Are you in any kind of trouble, Nadia?” “Not that I know of. But I guess . . . I guess I should be careful.” He agreed that I should. He promised to notify me if he heard from the mysterious caller again, and we signed off. “That was . . .” I began. “Weird?” Quinn said. “Oh, yeah.” “No,”
“Agreed,” I said. “So there’s no reason for Contrapasso to panic and take out one of their own, especially someone as valuable as Koss. Which means we’re back to our original theory that Aldrich had friends. Nasty friends.” “Right,” Quinn said. “We know a fellow scumbag didn’t kill him, but that could be who’s after you.” I nodded. “Koss might not have been the only person Aldrich called after he saw me.” I looked at Quinn. “Can we get Aldrich’s phone records?” He nodded. “So the
“Sounded like you needed a break. From the file. From Quinn.” He paused. “Reading the file with Quinn, I mean. He’s behaving.” “He is on his best behavior.” “And you kinda wish he was being an ass.” “Yes, I kinda do.” There was a coffee shop two doors down. Jack took me the other way instead and we walked until we found one a couple of kilometers away. We discussed the file as we walked and he knew exactly what to ask to make me open up.
