The crypt located on Row 2 Column 6 at Greenview Cemetery Mausoleum has been disintegrated. The coffin once interred inside the crypt now lies empty on the concrete floor of the vault. Its wood is cracked and shattered. The shredded satin lining of the coffin appears as though fingernails clawed through the fabric. The body of recently entombed Bradley Cavanaugh isn’t inside. Dead men can’t escape their graves and walk away, can they? Sheriff Nick Dunn of the Carter County Sheriff's Office doesn’t believe in the supernatural. He’s convinced the creepy incident is an act of vandalism carried out by a gang of juvenile delinquents. When the missing body fails to turn up in a search of the cemetery, Dunn opens his investigation into the macabre and bizarre case. Through Patrice Cavanaugh, widow of the deceased, and her sister, Gabby Morgan, Dunn learns that Bradley Cavanaugh was an aggressive, abusive alcoholic who had multiple enemies in life. Is it possible that one of them stole his body from the grave as retribution for the wrath and vicious behavior Cavanaugh subjected them to while he was still alive? Or was the body stolen for more sinister reasons by someone intending to use it to terrorize Patrice and drive her insane? As Dunn’s investigation brings him closer to the culprit behind the disappearance of Cavanaugh’s body, he realizes that Patrice is the one who’s in grave danger. Someone extremely close to her hated Bradley Cavanaugh passionately and swore the day would come when she’d get her revenge against him for destroying her life. Did that day finally arrive, and is Patrice an intended victim or only collateral damage? When Dunn encounters the horrific truth behind the body’s disappearance, the experience brings him face to face with unadulterated evil, and a realism that’s too unbelievable to be true.

Capitalism has become a system of economic revenge, meted out against oppressed populations around the globe.

Two years have passed since the Phoenix operation-al Qaida's secret attack on the American Heartland with a biological weapon of mass destruction. Since then, al Qaida has undergone an unexpected reversal. They broadcast a series of strange messages, offering-with one hand-an olive branch of peace and their support to help promote President Richard Samuelson's worldwide democratic reforms and bring an end to terrorism. In al Qaida's other hand, however, is their secret plot to launch the second phase of the Phoenix operation-a series of attacks comprising their most devastating wave of terror since 9/11. Aware of al Qaida's deception, the president mounts a secret multinational effort to stop the operation. Phoenix Task Force agents Matt and Annie Garret go undercover with CIA agent Ryan Daniels and risk it all to stop the attacks and destroy the al Qaida organization. As the plot unfolds across three continents, the suspense ramps up, sustained by multiple converging subplots and private agendas of world leaders, obsessed power brokers, and terrorists. In Requiem for the Phoenix, the sequel to Out of the Ashes, al Qaida stops at nothing to make America and the free world yield to their fanatical domination.
