Mortal enemies: Holocaust survivor Harry Levin and Nazi death angel Ernst Hess continue their ‘to the death battle’ in this whip-smart, action-packed and darkly funny thriller. While you can read this as a standalone book you will get more out of the story if you read the first part Voices of the Dead.

Back from the Dead pitches us and the gang - Harry, Cordell, Colette and Joyce - back into a desperate fight to the death, which moves from the Bahamas to Florida, and from Germany to the South of France, as their worst fear comes back to haunt them. Whip-smart, action packed and darkly funny, the second part of Peter Leonard's glorious two-hander packs some serious punch.
