Dark Angel

Love gripping crime fiction? Discover Detective Stephen Greco, a meticulous policeman with a messy personal life. Two young men break into an expensive house in Cheshire. They take money and jewellery — and a large amount of heroin. Within twenty-four hours they are found brutally murdered. The killings have all the hallmarks of a local drug baron. The two victims were also “angels” helping in a community project which seems to have been lowering the crime rate in the area. But not everything is as it seems. Meanwhile, Detective Stephen Greco’s colleague and on-off girlfriend Grace is pregnant. He isn’t sure how he feels about this, and they haven’t told the boss. And just when it seems like Greco seems to have cracked the case, new information comes to light which threatens to change everything. This gripping and fast-paced crime mystery ends with a series of shocking twists. If you like Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, Mel Sherratt, Ruth Rendell, or Mark Billingham you will enjoy this best-selling crime fiction writer. What readers are saying about DARK ANGEL “The suspense begins immediately.” Joyce “I read this very quickly as I enjoyed it so much.” Christine “I can honestly say that I loved it - it is another 5 star book from Helen.” Donna Maguire “Once again, this author has put together a riveting story of drugs, murder, blackmail.” Stong Reviews “Lots of suspects, twists and turns, and a surprising ending.” Joan Clapham “There are plenty of twists and turns and an ending which may surprise you.” Barbara “Another very gripping novel by Helen Durrant.” Viv THE DETECTIVES DCI Stephen Greco is a meticulous policeman with a touch of O.C.D. Easy to admire, but difficult to like. He has created a new team after a personal tragedy threatened to end his career, and is struggling to care for his daughter. DS Grace Harper is an ambitious young policewoman with excellent people skills. Like Greco, she is a single parent and tries to balance work and childcare. THE SETTING The Northern city of Manchester is a place of great diversity, from high-end restaurants and clubs for the moneyed classes to grim housing estates riven by crime and drugs.
