Bahamas, 1971, and Ernst Hess, missing presumed dead, regains consciousness to find himself stuck in a hospital bed on a strange ward in a foreign country. Back from the Dead pitches us and the gang - Harry, Cordell, Colette and Joyce - back into a desperate fight to the death, which moves from the Bahamas to Florida, and from Germany to the South of France, as their worst fear comes back to haunt them. Whip-smart, action packed and darkly funny, the second part of Peter Leonard's glorious two-hander packs some serious punch.
Peter Leonard, who has been described as 'a huge talent' by Mo Hayder, 'razor sharp' by R.J. Ellory and 'a great storyteller' by Carl Hiassen, is the author of four previous novels, most recently Voices of the Dead (2012).
