- The burn / by Kent, Kathleen,1953-;
There's not much that can make Detective Betty Rhyzyk flinch. But the wounds from her run-in with the apocalyptic cult The Family are still fresh, and she's having trouble readjusting to life as it once was. She's back at work as a narcotics detective, but something isn't right-- at work, where someone has been assassinating confidential informants, or at home, where she struggles to connect with her loving wife, Jackie. To make matters worse, Betty's partner seems to be increasingly dependent on the prescription painkillers he was prescribed for the injuries he sustained rescuing her. Forced into therapy, a desk assignment, and domestic bliss, Betty's at the point of breaking when she decides to go rogue, investigating her own department and chasing down phantom sightings of the cult leader who took her hostage. The chase will lead her to the dark heart of a drug cartel terrorizing Dallas, and straight to the crooked cops who plan to profit from it all. There's never a dull moment in Dallas, especially now that Det. Betty's back.- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Women detectives; Lesbians; Drug traffic; Cults; Murder;

- Black Wolf : a novel / by Kent, Kathleen,1953-author.;
"It is 1990 when Melvina Donleavy arrives in Soviet Belarus on her first undercover mission with the CIA, alongside three fellow agents--none of whom know she is playing two roles. To the prying eyes of the KGB, she is merely a secretary; to her CIA minders, she is the only one who can stop the flow of nuclear weapons from the crumbling Soviet Union into the Middle East. For Mel has a secret; she is a 'super recognizer,' someone who never forgets a face. But no training could prepare her for the reality of life undercover, and for the streets of Minsk, where women have been disappearing. Soviet law enforcement is firm: murder is a capitalist disease. But could a serial killer be at work? Especially if he knew no one was watching? As Mel searches for answers, she catches the eye of an entirely different kind of threat: the elusive and petrifying 'Black Wolf,' head of the KGB"--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Historical fiction.; Spy fiction.; Novels.; United States.

"The third and final installment in Detective Betty Rhyzyk's story. Things are looking up for Detective Betty--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 the legendary cartel leader The Knife, things take a dangerous turn. It seems a rival cartel is making a play for business in Dallas--headed by none other than Evangeline Roy, not only the matriarch of a ruthless cult, but a woman who has been nursing a personal vendetta against Betty for years. The Knife wants Betty to get Evangeline out of Dallas. Or else. Within days, law enforcement is picking up drug dealers wearing strange red wigs, all bearing cryptic messages for Betty, and Mary Grace, the young woman Betty's been helping to find her feet, has disappeared--leaving her seven-month-old baby behind. With the clock ticking down, and as Evangeline draws closer and The Knife's patience wears thin, it will take everything Betty's got to put an end to Evangeline's reign of terror, and to keep her growing family and beloved Dallas safe"--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Cults; Drug traffic; Lesbians; Missing persons; Women detectives;
