Detective Inspector Michael Angel and his team
of regulars are searching for a serial killer on the loose in the
South Yorkshire town of Bromersley.
Clues are sparse and confusing. A character
in early Roman attire is observed at every murder and a laurel leaf
left on every corpse. DNA links a woman of oriental origin to the
murders but the evidence doesn't fit any of the suspects. The
motive seems to be linked with the death of a matinėe idol of the
1980's.
The investigations become more mystifying and
dangerous, as Inspector Angel races to find the killer to prevent
more mayhem and unexpectedly encounters the murderer's secret shrine
to murder.
This is the 15th in the highly
successful Inspector Angel series.
