Perhaps it is the most dangerous of the Seven Deadly Sins. Wrath can lie bubbling underneath the surface, erupting in a dangerous explosion that hurts everyone who comes near it. Wrath has destroyed relationships, careers, families, and, of course, individuals around the world. It is a sin that crosses all boundaries -- religious, economic, financial, and spiritual. Often a symbol of vengeance, it has a destructive power truly terrible to behold.Speaking of Wrath, the third book in the Seven Deadly Sins Series, brings together twenty of today's finest crime and mystery authors under the keen eye of editor Lawrence Block, who also contributes an original novella, "Speaking of Wrath."
