In the Morning, Angels Look Like Hell (Hardback or Cased Book)

A San Francisco Police Department inspector is suspended, the product of a stalled investigation and an ugly divorce.

The body of a troubled American actress is discovered floating in the surf off the southern coast of Ireland. Her high-powered Hollywood agent enlists the inspector to find the cause of her death.

The press and the buzz in Hollywood both suggest the death of the actress was suicide. If so, the life insurance policy taken out by her would be worthless.

What the American inspector finds in Ireland spins the story in conflicting directions. He is driven to unravel a deeply twisted and layered chain of events in his search for the truth.

Was it suicide, accident or murder? The insurance company investigator and the Irish inspector in the charge of the case develop decidedly different takes than that of the suspended American cop.
