When murder is your business, solving the case is personal ... The Homicide Hunter’s riveting debut novel proves that fiction really can be stranger than truth ... All Is Not Forgiven is the debut crime novel by television star Joe Kenda, a former homicide detective, whose hit series Homicide Hunter and Homicide Hunter: American Detective air on Investigation Discovery, the #1 true crime channel available in more than 80 million homes. In this first novel, the rookie Det. Kenda investigates a 1975 case that begins with the murder of a beloved Colorado philanthropist and society figure whose husband, a gambler and womanizer, appears to have an air-tight alibi. Mentored by his veteran partner Det. Lee Wilson, a former Nashville singer turned skilled investigator, Kenda’s case quickly attracts attention from the FBI, CIA, and Interpol, for its similarity to a string of killings involving wealthy married women. All the murders appear to have been committed by a hired professional whose trademark is the use of an unusual form of lethal ammunition that leaves no trace. Detectives Kenda and Wilson travel across the country, following leads to Las Vegas and a mob “made man” pit boss who moonlights as a matchmaker for hit men. In this first extraordinary case, the detectives join a full law-enforcement blitz to track down a twisted killer who has made murder his business.

Drawing on his first case, Lt. Joe Kenda crafts a novel that will keep you enthralled from the first page.
When a wealthy socialite is murdered, there are similarities to several other cases around the country. As the team tries to figure out who might have wanted this beloved woman dead. Her husband appears to have an air-tight alibi, but as the detectives begin chipping away, they learn there is more to this relationship than first thought.
Absolutely LOVED this book! I could not put it down! I grabbed a audible copy so that I could swap between listening and reading, and both were equally fabulous!
Highly recommend this book to any true crime fans out there!
