The Sweet Revenge Files

It is Christmas Eve, 2018. A bomb explodes in a packed movie theater.  As the First Defenders move through the crime scene making instant life and death decisions, federal investigators pick up numerous clues, fingerprints and even D.N.A., all belonging to a known murderer.  However, it soon becomes crystal clear that this particular criminal could not possibly have been responsible for this crime because he was executed almost eighty years before in the Cañon City, Colorado gas chamber.

In “The Sweet Revenge Files”, the latest in the current series of Will James Mysteries, the resourceful and quick-witted investigator and his crew chase after three different, seemingly unrelated killers, all but obsessed by a need to dramatically settle old scores –

• A television preacher who claims to be doing God’s work by ridding the land of sinners… transgressors… non believers… but whose real driving force is to enrich herself and settle old scores regardless of the death and destruction left in her wake…

• An art dealer with a dark and well hidden past as well as all of the resources necessary for getting what he wants regardless of who or what he destroys in the process…

• A former KGB contract killer on a lifelong search for payback from the person who made it more challenging for him to ever rape another woman after he raped her…

Each of these criminals seems to be willing and able to do whatever it takes to get their revenge even though such an all consuming objective can and does threaten their own survival.
