Blood Trails

2016

Michael Flint is the heir hunter of last resort. A forensic genealogist and former clandestine agent specializing in high-end private investigations, he promises clients he can find anyone, anytime, anywhere—dead or alive. Laura Oakwood stands to lose more than $50 million in mineral royalties if she’s not found within seventy-two hours. But she presents an extra challenge: she’s been running from the law due to her involvement in a deadly armed robbery twenty-eight years ago. Texas oil baron Sebastian Shaw desperately needs Laura’s signature to take over her family’s oil fields. And Shaw’s bitter rival, Felix Crane, will do anything to keep that from happening. In a hunt stretching from dusty, hot West Texas to snowy Saskatchewan, Flint finds himself caught in the cross fire between dueling tycoons and avaricious mercenaries out for their own piece of the pie. On Flint’s side? A knack for keeping himself alive, a hard-won moral code, and buried questions about his own family that drive everything he does. As Flint tracks Laura, he delves into his own murky history, whose secrets he is only now beginning to uncover.

The child of billionaire tech CEO Veronica Beaumont is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant. With his health rapidly declining, she hires Michael Flint, the heir hunter of last resort, to do the impossible: find Josh Hallman, the boy’s father, to provide a hoped-for match. Six years ago, Hallman piloted a plane that crashed, claiming the lives of two friends. Hallman’s body was never recovered, and he’s been presumed dead ever since. But Flint is beginning to have doubts—because he’s not the only one looking to find Hallman. The difference is, Flint wants to make sure he’s alive. Now, in a race against time to save a child’s life, the best heir hunter in the business is determined to find Hallman, if he’s alive, before two relentless killers do. And when the Beaumont job uncovers new clues to a cold case that has haunted him his entire life, Flint finds himself wrestling with the toughest challenge of his career: Just because he can find someone, does that mean he should?

Don't hesitate - you want this book!!” Hanna Campbell is stunned to see her long dead sister mingling in a crowd on a televised news report. Craving a second chance, Hanna hires Michael Flint, the man who boasts he can find anyone, anywhere, anytime – dead or alive. Flint is off his game and Hanna’s sister is no ordinary missing person.

I love side-by-side stories since it is so fascinating when they finally coincide in a dynamic conclusion.” “What a great fast-paced story which has the reader looking forward to the next line, paragraph and page as it's an outstanding page turner!” “Great new heir hunter! Flint is back!!! Heir hunter extraordinaire, Michael Flint, is back with his newest case!” “ I was enthralled with this book because of the genealogist theme. I dabble in genealogy, and have hit my fair share of brick walls. Michael Flint is a great character, fully developed personality, with knowledge and fearlessness to pursue wrong-doing and try to make it right, not necessarily within the law. I couldn't put down the books in this series and am hopeful for more.” “I started reading Ms Capri's Jack Reacher spin-offs. I've read them all. Moving on to her other works. Great reads. Can't wait for the next in the Michael Flint series.” “I like the fast pace and not having to wade through a description of the mosaic tile walls in the lobby of some building. A tenacious character with a set of values and a conscience. A very good read. Couldn't put it down!” “Tense and captivating page turner. I really enjoyed the Michael Flint series and am hoping for more real soon. Michael Flint is a true adventure hero every bit as good as Indiana Jones with a dose of Jack Reacher thrown in for good measure. He's highly principled, while somewhat flawed, but very loyal with a vulnerable side he'd rather keep hidden. Please Diane Capri......more, more, more!” “This second book was every bit as riveting as I'd hoped for. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I could hardly put it down. I can't wait for the third book in this series!!” Award winning New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author DIANE CAPRI Does It Again in the Michael Flint Thrillers
