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 on wasteland north of the city - ANGELS PASSING takes us to the core of Faraday's flawed relationships with both his girlfriend and his son, it reveals more of Winter's brutally effective take on the job and provides a grimly recognisable post mortem report on a society that is coming apart at the seams.
This is at once an unremittingly realistic fast moving crime thriller and a bleakly moving novel about the price children are paying for a disintegrating society.
