Deadly Honeymoon

<p>“You may rape the bride…”<br /><br />David and Jill Wade wanted a properly traditional start to their marriage. For openers they decided to delay its consummation until after the ceremony. They planned a perfect honeymoon at a secluded lakeside resort in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains.<br /><br />Joe Carroll the guest in the cabin next door seemed friendly enough. They took his dinner suggestion then returned to their cabin and prepared to retire—until a noise alerted them and they went to the porch and watched a group of men descend on Joe Carroll’s cabin. They dragged him out at gunpoint then executed him in cold blood.<br /><br />And Jill screamed…<br /><br />The men heard her rushed the Wade's cabin. They took their turns with Jill. Then they left.<br /><br />And the newlyweds barely considered reporting the violation to the police. Instead with only a name and a few bare clues to steer them they hunted down the men who’d done the awful deed and the crime boss who’d given them their orders.<br /><br />DEADLY HONEYMOON was Lawrence Block’s first hardcover novel. It’s a powerful tale of revenge and of a man and woman far more closely bound by their shared mission than they would have been by a more ordinary honeymoon.</p>
