Synopsis

It's a world where crime is almost respectable - until passion ignites a disaster.

Things start going wrong the day Johnny Conroy meets Ruth Hynes. He just wants to show his mates that he can pull hard-man Frankie Hynes' daughter, but before he knows it he is part of the Hynes family. And the Hynes family business, which is stealing cars. And there is no way he is ever going to get out of the marriage or the business alive . . .

The only good thing in their hellhole of a marriage is his daughter Angel, as nice as her name and as innocent. And the only thing keeping Johnny sane is his secret life.

But then Angel grows up and meets Johnny's new employee Ryan. He loves Angel - but the family secrets involve him, too. And they are about to explode.

The characters are believable, as is the plot and it's told at a pace that lets the story unfold without being too quick or too slow . . . a well written book that I found hard to put down once started.―Shots

Mandasue has played a real blinder with this fantastic novel.―Martina Cole on FORGET ME NOT

LOST ANGEL is a shining example of the rule that the best crime fiction isn't just about crime; it's also about family, relationships, love . . . and hate. From The Godfather to The Sopranos, these are the stories that grip us most intensely. And Heller is at the top of her game with this one -- it's captivating from first page to last.―Jeffery Deaver

Gripping . . . powerful writing.―Scotland on Sunday on FORGET ME NOT

Domestic baggage has never been so deadly.―Daily Mirror
