2000s: The truth won’t stay locked up forever
The Angel
What you need to know before your trail
When a burned body is found in a disused signal box, suspicion falls on lonely teenager Gabriel Webb. There’s no doubt he was at the scene of the crime, but does he really deserve what awaits him in prison?
DS Imogen Grey is certain there’s more to the case than meets the eye. But while she struggles to convince those around her of the truth, her partner DS Adrian Miles is distracted by his own demons.
When a brutal double murder is reported, their investigation is stopped in its tracks. Is the body in the box even who they thought it was? The duo realise Gabriel might have been locked up for a crime he didn’t commit. But with enemies watching Gabriel’s every move, they may be too late.

Travel Guide
Visit Exeter
This is a city with problems like any other but it has enough local flair and references to feel as if you are discovering it with the characters. the more unsavoury places of the city are exposed and the characters you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley.
The signal box where the body is found is close to the city’s central station, It’s disused and in the book is a known hangout for some of the less savoury characters leanne was friends with
Exeter is a city with a prison on the outskirts but the real crimes seem to be in and around the police force with growing allegations of police corruption in the novel. There also seems to be growing problem of homelessness.
The real city however is very different thankfully!
