Dead and Back

It’s been two years since his murder, but someone has called Matthew Swift back to the living. Things have changed since Matthew’s death and most of his friends have been killed as well. Though without money or a home, Matthew is still a sorcerer and now he has a mission - revenge.

Finding his killer is not going to be easy. He has no friends and his new alliances could be deadly, and worse his killer may know that Matthew is back. A Madness of Angels, or, The Resurrection of Matthew Swift by Kate Griffin is a carefully crafted fantasy that explores the nature of life and our fears of death.
