Beschreibung
In a remote, deeply religious and strangely old-fashioned community in the heart of the Lake District, haunted by the dark secrets of its past, a recent spate of teenage suicides brings unwanted attention from the outside world.
Dr Alex Ripley, the so-called Miracle Detective, is called in to help police investigate when it becomes apparent that there is more to these suicides than anyone first thought.
With talk of the girls having all seen and spoken to an angel before their death stirring up forgotten legends and past pain, Ripley finds herself searching for the truth in a place so full of secrets that few there know who to trust anymore, apart from God himself.
Divine visions, past sins, secrets, fear and revenge all combine to put Ripley on the path of an old mystery, which may just explain what is happening today. Is there a divine influence at work here, or a far more sinister force? Ripley, like the dead young girls, will not rest until the truth is out.
