The Damage Done: A Louis Kincaid Thriller #12 (Louis Kincaid Mystery Series)

A CHANCE AT REDEMPTION. A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL. Louis Kincaid is wearing a badge again — as part of an elite homicide squad. But the return to his Michigan home comes at the bidding of a man who once vowed to destroy him. When the cold case deaths of two little boys collides with the white-hot murder of a mega-church minister, Louis finds himself fighting to unearth the secret past of his police captain — and the demons of his own childhood. "The past and the present come into stunning focus in this brilliantly crafted thriller. You'll love every fast-paced minute spent with Michigan cold case detective Louis Kincaid, as he lifts the lid off a series of horrific unsolved murders and finds himself forced to confront their present-day legacies. Relentlessly plotted, yet filled with poignant family emotion, The Damage Done will grip you from start to finish." --Jeffery Deaver "Welcome to the Michigan State Police Special Investigations Unit, where cold cases turn red hot and Louis Kincaid finds a disturbing new home for his skills, his compassion, and his relentless obsession with rendering justice... THE DAMAGE DONE is a gritty thriller with a high-octane pace and a beautifully evoked sense of place." -- C.J. Box, #1 New York Times best selling author of THE DISAPPEARED. "For the last decade and a half, P.J. Parrish has delivered one fine thriller after another featuring the complex and compelling Louis Kincaid. The Damage Done is no exception. With a pace that never flags, dialogue that pops like a string of firecrackers, and a cast of characters so intriguing you can't look away, this newest Kincaid novel highlights the mastery of a writing team at the top of their game." --William Kent Kruger, New York Times bestselling author of DESOLATION MOUNTAIN, "This complexity and depth of emotion really set apart The Damage Done from most of the police procedurals out there. I was genuinely moved by this tale, and only partly because I'm the mother of young boys myself. I was also struck by how well rendered the setting is. The book really brings to life the Michigan of the 1990s, portraying the often bleak beauty of its vast expanse, from the sparsely populated rural upstate to the alternating wealth and poverty of its more urban areas--and especially Detroit. The 12th Louis Kincaid Mystery is not only a love letter to the state of Michigan but also the perfect jumping on point for new readers like myself. If you're anything like me, you'll be putting PJ Parrish on your must-read list of authors of crime novels that are both intelligently crafted and emotionally compelling." --Doreen Sheridan, criminalelement.com Dear Readers,After our very successful stand-alone, SHE'S NOT THERE, we are thrilled to return to our Louis Kincaid/ Joe Frye series and by popular demand, we have finally brought Louis home to Michigan.
