Resurrection Angel
Lisa Rappaport seemed to have it all – a popular boyfriend, a wealthy father and a sudden and unexplained case of amnesia. A late night phone call brings Denton Ward and Monty Crocetti to her bedside and into her life.
Her doctor thinks it’s a routine case, but a hypnosis session with Denton brings to light a possible cause for her memory loss – alien abduction and rape. Lisa swears she’s a virgin, but a drugstore test proves she’s pregnant. Could the father be of unknown origin? Or is the answer closer, here on planet Earth?
A sudden death brings the case closer to home, and it’s up to Denton and Monty to weave the many threads of this case into a tapestry of redemption and justice that will resonate long after the last page has been turned.
