Angel in Belfast: the 2nd Angel Murphy thriller
Angel Murphy is back, in true kick boxing form!
Alone in his cottage near a remote Irish village, Fitz, lead singer of the popular band, Raving, hears the cries of the paparazzi outside and likens them in his own mind to wolves in a feeding frenzy. Next morning Fitz is found unconscious, seeming unlikely to survive, and is rushed to hospital. Has he been driven to OD? Or is someone else behind this?

His friends call in Angeline Murphy, ‘Angel to her friends, devil to her enemies,’ to find out the truth. But it takes all Angel’s courage and skills to survive the many dangers she faces and to discover the real villain and deal with him.

Angel is back in action once again!

She meets a young Polish girl – Elena – near the City Hall just before Christmas. Elena is looking for help. She has been enticed over from Poland by the promise of a job, to find herself, instead, being used by people traffickers.

Angel is angry and horrified to find this happening in her home town. Determined to put a stop to it, she is soon on a trail which leads her out to the city of Krakow in Poland – together with Elena’s friend, Magda.

There she meets up again with her friend Josh Smith – of Interpol – and between them, after hair’s breadth escapes, rescues, and thrills – amid the falling snow – they track down the boss of the people trafficking gang, and bring about a happy ending – in more senses than one!
