Vengeance is Mine is a 346-page gen Starsky and Hutch novel by Emmie Busch.
It is an epic story in which the guys are more married than usual in a gen-like way. This story also includes an example of the Cartwright Curse.

Summary from the author in Black Bean Soup v.3 n.9: "The brutal murder of Hutch's fiancee draws the guys into what becomes a manhunt for a cunning serial killer. Meanwhile, Starsky's quest for the perfect investment property leads them to a neglected Victorian house and a new living arrangement. The peace and quiet of their new home is disrupted as Starsky is victimized by anti-Semitic propaganda from a neighbor, and finally violence, and the threat of an old secret from Hutch's past looms. Lots of h/c and emphasis on the strength and loyalty of S&H's remarkable friendship."
