The Revenant: An Angel & Kincade Mystery

Angel & Kincade Murder Mysteries, Book 1

De: James Harper

Narrado por: Tim Bruce

When The Revenant returns, Death is never far behind.

After ex-drug dealer Roy Lynch is found hanged in the garage of his country mansion, what at first appears to be a routine suicide soon becomes more insidious—vengeful proof that the wages of sin aren't so great, after all. As the investigation gathers pace, one question vexes the team—who is the young woman who hissed, "I hope you burn in hell" to Lynch's wife as she lay on her death bed?

It's exactly what DI Max Angel doesn't need. Recently back from six weeks off, he's struggling to come to terms with his own past, a living nightmare that also sentenced his friend and long-term DS to indefinite sick leave. The replacement, DS Catalina Kincade, has got more than enough baggage of her own, demoted from inspector down to sergeant for reasons Angel doesn't believe.

As the body count rises, Angel and Kincade are forced to look to the past, cutting through 30 years of deceit and betrayal and lies to reveal the family secrets buried below. The tragedy they unearth makes it horrifically clear that in a world filled with hatred and pain, nothing comes close to what families do to one another.

The Revenant is the first book in the new Angel & Kincade series of crime thrillers from USA Today best-selling author, James Harper, a gripping, twisty adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
