De la contraportada

'Nobody's perfect, says a little girl in a walled garden.'

Certainly not the child stolen from a shabby London Street. Or the sexually frustrated suburban vicar. Or at least of all, perhaps, the woman who runs out of good times and comes to perch like a cuckoo in the bosom of a perfect family.

'Requiem for an Angel' uncovers the secret history of a murderer, tracing the full damage and horror of an unforgiving killer over forty years. For the first time the three volumes of the Roth Trilogy can be read together as they were designed. A chilling account of one family's self-destruction, the story strips away the layers of the past like an archaeological l dig into the very nature of evil.

"A fascinating unravelling of the horrors that the past can visit on the present."
VAL MCDERMID

"Finely crafted… Taylor has established a sound reputation for writing tense novels that perceptively penetrate the human psyche."
MARCEL BERLINS, 'The Times'
