On a clear summer day in Dublin, O'Connell Street is crowded with pedestrians when a bomb explodes directly beneath a black taxicab, sending several people to a horrific death. Police investigators led by Blade Macken, a weathered detective superintendent hard on his luck, discover that the bomb was detonated from below the asphalt streets. A twisted killer called Angel contacts Blade and tells him more bombs have been planted. There is no way the police can find them, short of tearing up every street in Dublin. With only days to stop Angel before the city erupts in panic and despair, Blade must search into his troubled past to learn who is behind these devilish acts. If he fails, it may very well even cost the life of the American president.
The breakneck pacing, fabulous characters, and authentic Irish setting in David M. Kiely's The Angel Tapes promise a hopeful future for this new series.
