Scream Vengeance by Chet Cunningham

She waited ten years for revenge. One night was all it took.

When single mother Judith Landcaster is found strangled and staged beneath her own ceiling fan, Detective Stacy DeFrain is handed a baffling case. There are no signs of forced entry, no clear suspects, and no obvious motive.

As Stacy digs into Judith’s quiet life, she uncovers a hidden routine — Wednesday nights at a seaside bar known as THE CLUB, where Judith used an alias and left behind her responsibilities for a few stolen hours.

But someone else was watching.

While the police chase the last man seen with Judith, a successful defense attorney with a flawless public image harbors a decade-old grudge rooted in high school humiliation. And she has already set her plan in motion.

In a case where vengeance hides behind respectability, Stacy must uncover a killer who believes the past is never truly buried.
