Resurgence: Book 2 of the Second Chances Trilogy

Read Resurgence: Book 2 of the Second Chances Trilogy Storyline:

Resurgent British rock star Colin Elliot's jubilant return home to England with Laurel Chandler, his American bride-to-be, is impacted by sudden personal loss and deeply divisive controversy. Relentless tension marks book two of M. M. Mayle's Second Chances Trilogy as more lives are lost and more are threatened by an oddly engaging antagonist with an unquenchable thirst for vengeance. Given a special set of circumstances, Amanda Hobbs, Laurel's former assistant, solidifies her place in the music industry by convincing Colin and his embittered bandmates to reunite for an all-star event and subsequent 23-date tour of Europe. Nate Isaacs, Colin's former manager, maintains a low profile due to his acrimonious split with Colin, but not so low that he doesn't begin to appreciate Amanda for more than her obvious talents, or so distant that he doesn't again harbor grave concerns for Colin's safety. When Nate's concerns are given a name and face-as well as basis for belief-his fears are conveyed to Laurel, who demands increased security for Colin at a seemingly high cost. Hoople Jakeway, perverted champion of Aurora, Colin's late wife, is festering in New Jersey without a passport or the means to acquire one. On what should have been the happiest day of their lives, Colin and Laurel are again struck down by shattering news necessitating a change in plans. The riveting dialogue and strongly defined characters that are hallmarks of the author's style continue in this mesmerizing follow-up to her scintillating debut. Mayle is able to keep the needle of suspense pinned in the red as her characters travel great physical and emotional distances, their interconnectedness forging greater danger and necessary, if uneasy, alliances. Provocative and challenging, Resurgence is a masterfully executed thriller that will leave you breathless for the third and final installment of the Second Chances Trilogy.
