A Study in Revenge: A Novel (Archie Lean Series)

In 1893, a trail of ashen footprints leads Deputy Archie Lean to the body of a murdered thief. The manâ€™s exposed flesh has been horribly burned and occult symbols mark the nearby walls. Most troubling of all is what Lean witnessed two days earlier: this same man being lowered into his grave without a burn mark on him. Â Once again, the Portland, Maine, police deputy must turn to the brilliant criminalist Perceval Grey for help.Â

Grey, a half-Abenaki Indian detective, Â faces problems of Â his own after agreeing to an elderly tycoonâ€™s death-bed plea to find his long-lost granddaughter. The dying manâ€™s family is less interested in the missing heiress than with the recent theft of an obscure heirloom carved with curious symbols. As the familyâ€™s shadowy history is revealed, the three mysteries intersect to draw Lean and Grey into a maze of murder, deceit, and revenge. Each deadly new clue points toward an even greater puzzleâ€”one that will pit Grey against a devious murderer in a race to unlock an ancient and mysterious power.
