Set in a grittily real Portsmouth, this is the third novel featuring DI Joe Faraday.
An unremittingly realistic and fast-moving crime thriller and a bleakly moving novel about the price children pay for a society in freefall.
'Angels Passing' is a massive, Dickensian trawl through the depths of life in Portsmouth. With a compactly labyrinthine plot, uniquely human policemen, a grotesque rogues gallery of squalid villains and a shadowy child as its anti-hero, it is a breathtaking and harrowing ride.
Focused around two investigations - the hunt for a ten year old boy who may be linked to the death of a teenage girl and a murder enquiry prompted by the discovery of the body of a small time crook - 'Angels Passing' takes us to the core of Faraday's flawed relationships with both his girlfriend and his son and provides a grimly recognisable post mortem report on a city that is coming apart at the seams.
