Next of Kin

THE THRILLING SEQUEL TO GHOSTS OF ANGELS An innocent girl is murdered on a quiet backstreet in Paris. The depraved methodology used by the killers to end her life reignites the nightmare that ex-cop, Nicholas Palmer, believed he'd put to rest almost twenty years earlier. The girl's murder is eerily like killings sanctioned by La Orden de las Serpientes de Cristo, the centuries-old Mexican cult that ritualistically slaughtered young women to appease Quetzalcoatl, the unholy snake god. Now Nick, his wife Gabriela, and Alain Moreau, deputy director in Paris's police force, have been dragged back to relive the horrors of the cult's earlier slaughters. But the game has changed, and Nick has been coerced into enlisting the help of his daughter Lucy, her friend Sierra-a world-famous fashion model-and ghostly apparitions of past victims to eradicate the demonic cult once and for all. The chase takes them from Paris, New York, Monaco, Moscow, and Mexico with murderous encounters with Russian oligarchs, paid assassins, Mexican drug lords, and merciless acolytes of Philippe Rodriguez, the billionaire leader of the depraved sect. Next of Kin is a thrilling page-turner that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat until the very last word.
