Notes From Your BooksellerDetective Kenda is not only the protagonist of All is Not Forgiven, he’s the author, too. They say “write what you know”, and Kenda’s twenty-one years as a homicide detective and commander of the major crimes unit in Colorado Springs puts him in a very knowing place. From the host of Homicide Hunter to author of two works of true crime nonfiction, it’s safe to say Kenda’s fiction is closer to any of our realities when it comes to the world of mystery, thrillers and crime.
When murder is your business, solving the case is personal …The Homicide Hunter’s riveting debut novel proves that fiction really can be stranger than truth …
All Is Not Forgiven is the debut crime novel by television star Joe Kenda, a former homicide detective, whose hit series Homicide Hunter and Homicide Hunter: American Detective air on Investigation Discovery, the #1 true-crime channel available in more than 80 million homes.
In this first novel, the rookie Det. Kenda investigates a 1975 case that begins with the murder of a beloved Colorado philanthropist and society figure whose husband, a gambler and womanizer, appears to have an air-tight alibi.
Mentored by his veteran partner Det. Lee Wilson, a former Nashville singer turned skilled investigator, Kenda’s case quickly attracts attention from the FBI, CIA, and Interpol, for its similarity to a string of killings involving wealthy married women. All the murders appear to have been committed by a hired professional whose trademark is the use of an unusual form of lethal ammunition that leaves no trace.
Detectives Kenda and Wilson travel across the country, following leads to Las Vegas and a mob “made man” pit boss who moonlights as a matchmaker for hit men. In this first extraordinary case, the detectives join a full law-enforcement blitz to track down a twisted killer who has made murder his business.
