Description
When a suspected CIA operative is captured by the North Korean government, the man's father, an American General, repeatedly asks the White House to intervene. The White House does nothing, and the alleged spy endures daily torture for three years before dying in captivity. After his battered body is returned to Texas, General Scott vows that someone will pay for his son's death. Scott isn't just any officer. He's a widely respected Brigadier General and combat veteran. After his retirement, several former special forces operators - each of whom owe their lives directly or indirectly to him - are enlisted to help him exact his revenge.

Great action story featuring a female protagonist, Army investigator Jacqueline “Belle” Sinclair, who leaves all other action heroes in the dust. When several children of army general officers are kidnapped, the story starts, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Soon a nefarious plot is uncovered, headed by a vengeance-seeking former general and his band of elite misfits. As more bodies fall, Superhero Sinclair, along with her able-bodied sidekick from the DIA fight battle after battle to thwart the evil plan.

This was a well written thriller. The characters were well developed and likeable. I wasn't able to put this one down and am looking to download the next one. Belle is a keeper, and kick ass heroine. With her father and Agent Price I can't wait to read the next one.

Requiem for the Dead – A General’s need for revenge sets in motion the possibility of WWIII.
Army CID Investigator Jacqueline “Belle” Sinclair is assigned a case of the abduction of another General’s daughter. While gathering information she learns of another kidnapping and then another – all the while she feels that someone is not only watching her every move but seems to know her every move. Great characters with the action building up to a heart-stopping ending. Looking forward to book two of this series! #RequiemfortheDead #NetGalley
