Death's Bright Angel

Janet Neel's first crime novel brings the classic English detective story into the modern world of corporate boardrooms and government departments, where ambition and power can be as dangerous as any criminal. At the centre are two investigators with very different lives. Francesca Wilson is a high-flying civil servant at the Department of Trade, used to working among the powerful. John McLeish is a detective inspector with the CID, grounded in the hard realities of police work. Thrown together by a case that cuts across both their worlds, they must pick apart a web of motives and secrets in London. As the pressures mount, their working relationship is tested, and a personal bond begins to form alongside the investigation.
