About this title

Synopsis

Matt McCall is back…and in DEATH ANGEL he demonstrates once again why those who choose to live in the shadows often refer to him as the most dangerous man in the world.

When a high school football player dies mysteriously as a result of an unusual drug concoction, small town authorities are quick to call it an accident or suicide. But the boy’s father, who years earlier was rescued by McCall from a Central American prison camp, smells a rat and asks the former rogue CIA operative for help. Before McCall can turn over the first rock the father is found hanging at the end of a rope, his death also ruled a suicide.

McCall, now an investigative reporter with an appetite for justice that sometimes triggers vigilantism, isn’t buying the party line. He knows it is murder most foul.

Strange and beautiful women, crooked cops, a big-time crime boss living in a small town, weird kids, a Nicaraguan hit man, a sleazy congressman and a host of other people working both sides of the street, combine to make the trail to the killer a maze of inconsistencies.

The bodies start piling up – and McCall is forced to use fists and firearms, as well as his intellect, to bring some semblance of justice to a town that has sold its soul.

About the Author

C.C. Risenhoover, author of the highly acclaimed Matt McCall series, lives in Pecan Plantation near Granbury, Texas with his wife, Georgia, and two of their seven children. The community, which boasts more than 90,000 pecan trees, is nestled in a horseshoe bend of the Brazos River where the author often fishes for bass and any other species that will bite. And it is in this setting where he writes the continuing saga of Matt McCall and other novels. One of his most critically acclaimed novels, WHITE HEAT, is based on his experiences playing baseball for an otherwise all-black team in the 50s. Author of 18 published books, he is currently working on other novels with racial and sports themes and has more than 20 Matt McCall titles in the works.
