Angel, Falling: A Bennett Cole Mystery

by Larry Patrick Shriner

Young women disappear with depressing regularity in the Southern city of Atlanta, Georgia. Unfortunately, no one really cares if they ever show up again. Private detective Bennett Cole knows this better than most. He's had his share of tough cases that didn't turn out so well, and he'd rather not take this latest one on. But when the friend of a missing young woman named Angel asks him to find her, Cole ignores his instincts and accepts the job. It's a case that will take Cole from Atlanta's seamy underbelly to the playgrounds of the rich and famous on the beaches of Florida. And in his search, he finds far more than he bargained for-violence, drugs, and Angel, a woman who is not at all what she seems. With the help of a beautiful massage therapist, Cole confronts unlikely suspects, encounters deceit in the wealthy enclaves of West Florida and Atlanta, and even stumbles upon a murder or two. As the mounting tension and danger nearly drag Cole to his knees, he realizes that his quest for the truth about Angel may send him straight to the depths of hell. Hard-hitting and action-packed, Angel, Falling will draw you into Cole's quest for the truth.

Reviews

[D · Rating 4 out of 5]

Larry Patrick Shriner has a no-nonsense style of writing when it comes to crime fiction. His books are not filled with unncessary details. The protagonists are more apt to stumble around until they find a loose thread and continue to pick at it until they find a clue.

Angel, Falling is another great read by Mr. Shriner.
