Fallen Angels
When thirteen-year-old Rosie Jones is killed in a hit-and-run, her father, Detective Superintendent Bowley Jones, loses far more than a daughter. He loses his faith in the police service to which he once dedicated his life.
Sixteen-year-old Alicia Knox has spent her life in the shadows of neglect, violence, exploitation, and a children’s care system ill-equipped to support her. She is volatile, street-smart, and dangerously fearless… but she also knows things she should never know. Things about men in suits, protected identities, and organised abuse hidden behind locked doors. When Alicia and her friend Piper decide to take matters into their own hands, the brutal consequences ignite a storm that can no longer be contained.
Called to an appalling crime scene in the dead of night, Detective Superintendent Bowley Jones finds himself investigating a case soaked in corruption, power, and fear. The deeper he probes, the more he realises the threads lead back to the very heart of the establishment. What he does not expect is the slow, sickening realisation that elements of this new case echo the unanswered horrors surrounding Rosie’s death. As the investigation descends into moral chaos, Bowley must choose between justice and survival, between protecting the vulnerable and exposing the powerful. Alicia may be the only one capable of dismantling the entire conspiracy… or destroying what remains of Bowley’s life.
Dark, uncompromising, and unflinchingly human, Fallen Angels is a novel about the cracks in every institution—care, policing, politics—and how those cracks are widened by those within them. The book offers not only a compelling murder investigation but also a layered exploration of who holds it, how it’s abused, and what happens when the powerless strike back. Brutal, fast-paced, and unafraid to confront the darkest corners of modern Britain, Fallen Angels is both a gripping crime story and a searing critique of the systems that fail the most vulnerable.
