Tilly Bagshawe opens SIDNEY SHELDON'S ANGEL OF THE DARK with the murder of elderly Andrew Jakes, a multimillionaire killed in his Hollywood home, his wife raped, his art and jewels stolen. When the police fail to turn up any hard evidence, the case turns cold and the only witness, the young widow, vanishes. Fast-forward 10 years, Jakes' estranged son, Matt Daley, discovers three elderly men died in identical circumstances to his father. But when Matt takes his suspicions to investigator Danny McGuire, he learns the cops have long been seeking a mysterious beauty they've dubbed the Angel of Death. As Matt pursues her intriguing shadow, the two enter a tantalizing game of cat and mouse where he learns nothing is what it seems.
