Ray sets out to find the identity of the e-mailer only to discover the circumstances of his wife’s apparent death appear to be all but accidental. Soon Police Detective Carla Thurber comes to suspect Ray of killing his wife, and of a subsequent murder of Pam’s confidant.

Reviews (Excerpts)
- "The action starts on page one of Courage Resurrected and doesn't stop until the very last page. [...] multiple viewpoint and characters who practically jump out of the page. This is one of the freshest and most promising mystery series I've read in several years." - Nita Banks
- "[...] Mackey writes with a deft touch of humor and a sharp eye for description of locale and human behavior. He’s also good at planting subtle clues that a sharp-eyed reader will pick up on, provided he or she is a really sharp-eyed reader. There are surprises, red herrings, and more twists than a roller coaster at King’s Dominion, and it’ll leave you just as breathless." - Charles A. Ray
- "In a richly layered mystery novel, author R. Scott Mackey takes readers on a compelling adventure in northern California with Courage Resurrected... Mackey's story leans toward gritty and hard-boiled, even as he describes a world of good people caught in rough circumstances...Any fan of tough detective novels will enjoy it, as will students of human nature." - Examiner.com
- "[...] the author has developed strong characters, realistic characters and situations, intensity, a great mix of humor and light hearted ness, mystery, constantly wanting answers to questions, and with all this, moves at a fast pace." - Jeanne Bullerman
