If Angels Fall

When a child goes missing at a San Francisco subway station, a disgraced reporter teams up with a homicide detective to solve the case.

Little by little, stop after stop, three-year-old Danny Becker wanders farther from his inattentive, overworked dad on a busy San Francisco subway car. In the rush of people stepping onto and off the train, Danny is bumped to the platform when the doors close behind him.

As Danny's frantic father searches the moving car in vain, a stranger's strong hands carry him away.

The boy's abduction ignites the city, evoking painful memories of last year's unsolved murder of a toddler, Tanita Donner.

Tom Reed, a disgraced reporter with The San Francisco Star, pursues the new abduction. But he is tormented by the fear that he may have caused the suicide of an innocent man, suspected of murdering Tanita Donner a year ago. Tom Reed's editor wants him fired. His wife has left him to wrestle with his demons. With his life coming apart, the Danny Becker investigation is Reed's last chance at redemption.

The lead investigator on the Donner case is one of Reed's only remaining friends, San Francisco Homicide Inspector, Walt Sydowski, an outstanding detective and lonely widower haunted by the fact he could not solve Donner's heartbreaking death.

Both men grapple with their past, racing the clock to stop the nightmare that has descended on the Bay Area.

IF ANGELS FALL is the first book of the award-winning five-book Tom Reed series.
