Angel of Death Prominent figures in Belfast are being murdered. The bodies are left naked and posed in grotesquely distorted shapes. No clues are left at the forensically immaculate crime scenes except odd theatrical props and some random numbers and letters concealed at each scene by the killer. How are the victims linked? What is the connection between these killings, the bible, and a famous mediaeval painting of The Last Judgement? Die This Hour The killer always strikes at 11.05 pm on Tuesday evenings. Inspector Sheehan and his team know that. After two murders, they have also figured out who the next victim is, and have set up protection for him. Yet the killer not only succeeds in murdering the targeted victim, he also kidnaps a member of the Serious Crimes Unit and gets clean away. How can Sheehan hope to catch a killer who is so ruthlessly clever and efficient? Killer of Souls In the past Chief Inspector Sheehan and his team have dealt successfully with murderers, serial killers, vicious psychopaths, but how will they succeed against a malevolent Satanist who has the support of a determined coven and a very powerful demon? And bizarrely, will Sheehan have time to discover who is murdering members of the coven while trying to rescue a young lady who is targeted by them for human sacrifice on midnight of the sacred feast of Lughnasa

Her journey into aviation was preceded by a glamorous stint as a water-sports and boating model, followed by globetrotting adventures as a flight attendant for Pan American World Airways.
