Surreptitious Spirits (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781489732217)

In her first case, Surreptitious Spirits, Angelene pierces the veil of mystery which enshrouds the uncanny circumstances surrounding an inexplicable disappearance of two prominent brothers, one an archeologist, and the other an anthropologist involved in the discovery of the century. Angelene is forced into an uneasy alliance with a mysterious stranger with a common agenda. Together they vanquish a crop of dangerous underworld figures, including a sinister minister and his misguided followers. In her second case, On Satan's Doorstep, Angelene finds herself pulled from her current case concerning the disappearance of the troubled teenager of one of the Windy City's most influential couples, only to be reassigned to the gruesome murder of her employer's son. It doesn't take long for Angelene to discover the two cases are horribly intertwined, and that she can trust no one. In Angelene's third case, Of Monsters' and Men, she finds herself completely swept off her feet by a handsome English billionaire with a very mysterious past; he very well may be one of the world's most horrific murderers. All the while Angelene attempts to untangle a sinister web of intrigue and deceit ensnaring her which constitutes the missing person case on which she is working, spun by Chicago's Chinatown underworld's most dangerous criminal queen. In Angelene's fourth case, The Moon Also Rises, Chicago's premiere Private Investigator finds herself combing the streets of the Windy City tracking down a ferocious killer with the aid of two deep cover operatives and uncovers a close friend's hairy secret past. This time our heroine may have bitten off more than she can chew. As usual, Angelene Alatorre's cases have one thing in common; the more light that gets shed on them the darker they become. The Trojan Dark Horse In her fifth case, after long exhausting months of intense investigation which lead our heroine, Angelene Alatorre and Her cousin Dominic, a government agent, on a trail of obscure clues across two continents, the pair return home to the Windy City, Chicago. She returns to her place of employment, the Steinmetz Security and Detective Agency, from her sabbatical only to find she has been assigned the task of personal bodyguard to Mr. Grant Schutte. Mr. Schutte is a billionaire real estate developer whose latest ambition is the Presidency of the United States of America. It doesn't take long for Angelene to discover why Mr. Schutte needs her services. Eventually, due to her latest assignment, Angelene discovers the greatest threat to humanity has been hiding in her own backyard.
