Revenant Rising

British rock star Colin Elliott survives the road accident that kills his depraved wife, Aurora. After a lengthy recovery, he returns to the music scene a changed man. A chance meeting with attorney Laurel Chandler results in a collaboration that could lead to romance. But Laurel comes with built-in prejudice against rock musicians and strict adherence to the code of professional ethics prohibiting attorney-client relationships. As Colin steps back into the limelight, an upsurge of media attention exploits Aurora's sordid past. Laurel is outraged. In Colin's defense, she condemns the media campaign as unfair to Aurora's survivors. By alluding to Aurora’s legendary deficiencies in this public statement, Laurel attracts the enmity of a vengeance seeker, a legacy of Colin's former lifestyle who already has the rock star in his sights. Aurora's malignant influence continues to be felt through the actions of this avenger. Three people with ties to Aurora are slaughtered in quick succession. Within an atmosphere of tension and threat, Colin is impervious to all but his quest to win Laurel, and she is unable to see beyond her conflicts. While the pair is mired in indecision, their nemesis feeds his obsession in unthinkable ways as he closes in for the kill. A complex thriller with literary overtones, REVENANT RISING transcends genre boundaries and will appeal to an audience that enjoys a full-immersion reading experience.
