ANGEL & KINCADE MURDER MYSTERY #7
BETRAYAL IS THE DEEPEST WOUND, AND ONLY BLOOD CAN EASE ITS PAIN.
BETRAYAL IS THE DEEPEST WOUND, AND ONLY BLOOD CAN EASE ITS PAIN.
When the body of a man recently released from prison is found strangled and beaten to death, the killing is horrifically similar to the rape and murder of thirteen-year-old Ainsley Bannister, a crime that rocked the nation eighteen years previously. And in case they couldn’t work it out for themselves, the killer pins a note to the body, a challenge to DI Max Angel and his team – if you won’t give us justice, I will.
The investigation is trouble from the start. The victim’s new identity was a closely-guarded secret and now it’s Angel and Kincade’s job to identify the leak. What’s worse is the impossible dilemma of dealing with Ainsley Bannister’s shell-shocked family, balancing the sympathy they feel for them as they’re taken back to the darkest days of their lives against treating them as the prime suspects. And if that wasn’t bad enough, there’s somebody out there hell-bent on making those dark days blacker still.
With the eyes of the nation on him, the last thing Angel needs is for his personal life to blow up in his face. Still reeling from learning he has a grown-up daughter, the discovery that restored his faith in life itself suddenly becomes a cause for concern as Angel’s nemesis, the corrupt Romanian detective, Virgil Balan, takes an interest in her . . .

THE EVAN BUCKLEY THRILLERS
Private-eye Evan Buckley’s wife went to work one day and didn’t come home. He hasn’t ever stopped looking for her. Tormented by demons, consumed by his unrelenting quest for the truth, he loses himself in other people’s problems.

The only thing that’s certain is that Evan’s role in life is to get caught in every maniac’s crosshairs while his own past comes snapping at his heels.
TESTIMONIALS
Neurotransmitters firing on all cylinders with this one! The best mis-adventure of Evan Buckley story yet!!! Once I started reading, I could not stop; made myself late for work. Brilliant work by a brilliant author. Strap in and hold on tight, this adventure will twist and turn and take you on a thrill ride you won’t soon forget.

Another excellent story in the Evan Buckley series written by a master wordsmith. Excellent plot with lots of twists and turns that surprised me with each page turn. 20 years of family strife and revenge make this an interesting read. Don’t miss it. This is the type of story that will probably in some ways haunt you forever. I know, it will me.
Ron
Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great crime thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

Evan Buckley gets better with each book. As do the story lines. I’ve read these three in a row in only two days! Ready for the next one!

One of the best I’ve read in a while. Plenty to keep any reader totally engrossed. The twist at the end surprised the heck out of me.

Compelling. Fast-paced story that leaves unanswered questions. There is violence but no drag-you-down drama. Intriguing storyline with plenty of twists and gallows humor. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. Classic quote and entertaining dialogue.

Wow. I have just found a new author to love and follow. I love the honest grittiness of this new character, his flaws, his heart and his determination. James Harper seems to know the human condition very well and explores it in his writing. With gripping plots and a few helpers this books comes to a very satisfying ending. I recommend it. Soooo good.
