Summary
The Angel Court Affair
As the 19th century draws to a close, Europe is in political turmoil. Adding to the unrest is Spain's controversial Sofia Delacruz, who is in London to preach a revolutionary gospel of love and forgiveness that many consider blasphemous. Thomas Pitt, commander of Special Branch, is charged with protecting her and shielding the government from embarrassment - until Sofia vanishes and two of her female disciples are gruesomely murdered.Three men are caught up in the hunt for Sofia - her cousin, a banker for the Church of England, a popular and charismatic politician, and a journalist who seems determined to goad Pitt to the truth. Each seem to be hiding something, and as the search for answers stretches from London to Spain, Pitt knows that time is running out, and the nation's security could be at stake
