Revelations

Still reeling from her mother's recent death, Karen Whitlaw is surprised to receive a box in the mail containing a mysterious notebook from her father, with whom she had had little contact since returning from the Vietnam War decades earlier. Soon after, she receives a shocking piece of news: her father has been murdered on the streets of New Orleans. Revelations, the new novel by Linda Howard, author of the bestselling "Reunions," "Kiss Me While I Sleep," and "Killing for Pleasure," shows why her books have been winning over readers around the world: it's a captivating story of intrigue, mystery, and seduction. For Detective Marc Chastain, the murder of a homeless man made no sense—especially after meeting the victim's daughter. Far from the cold woman he expected to find, Karen Whitlaw proved to be sympathetic and sensitive. She, too, is in grave danger. A series of "accidents" has deeply affected Karen, drawing her under the wing of the charming detective, whom she initially tried to resist. Together, they unravel a disturbing story involving politics, power, and death—and face a killer who will stop at nothing to uncover Karen's father's secrets. Publishers Weekly wrote, "Linda Howard blends steamy sex, shocking scenes, and raw nerves in this bestseller packed with tense moments, unexpected twists, and breathtaking revelations."
