Within a few short hours they are thrust into the black hole of every parent's worst nightmare. Suddenly they are at the center of attention of their community, the media, and the police. Richard has been singled out as the primary suspect in a heinous crime that took more than an innocent life. With Richard as a suspect, Kate's life unravels into unbearable chaos, grief, and a whole new world of deception. After a second murder and Richard's disappearance, Kate sets out to find the killer in their midst and clear her husband's name. She begins to piece together an eerie puzzle, finding clues in the heart of her own community. In Death Angel anguish, suspicion and death combine in the horrifying aftermath of a vicious crime that pits a mother's love against a ruthless killer. In a stunning conclusion, Kate risks her own life to track down and kill the Death Angel.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Beth Anderson for Rendezvous Review Kate Warren, watching from her home, sees her young daughter get off the school bus, turns away for just a minute or so, and her daughter disappears. A few hours later the eight year old's body is found in a nearby wooded area, and the worst nightmare imaginable begins for Kate and Richard as Richard is immediately fingered as primary suspect by police, who are not really interested in looking at anyone else. Then, little by little, due to Richard's strange behavior, Kate begins to suspect him herself. This is just the beginning of an intricate and suspenseful novel of the worst kind of betrayal you can imagine. Powers has instilled just a touch of the child's own story without pummeling us with the sad details of her murder, instead concentrating on the chase and capture of the killer. I think it's safe to say that every reader of DEATH ANGEL will cheer out loud, as I did, when the killer is revealed, and more than that, how the killer receives full justice, if there is such a thing for a sexual predator who rapes and kills children. A dark, suspenseful novel, full of wrong deductive turns for the reader, huge surprises all the way through, and beautifully crafted justice at the end.
