The first book in this series is If Angels Fall. The series features the main characters of Tom and Walt. Tom Reed works with The San Francisco Star as a crime reporter. He is such an acclaimed journalist that he has earned a nomination for a Pulitzer. This was definitely one of the high points in Mofina’s career. However, just a few years later, Reed’s life simply seems to be coming apart at the seams.

Just what is the trouble with Tom? Well, for one thing, his editor is demanding that he be fired. His wife has no longer got his back as well. She’s grown tired of being ignored so that Tom can feed all of his demons and she’s getting out and has left him behind. Now Tom is forced to face his problems all on his own without the codependent support of his wife that he has depended on to keep the house going and intact for so long.

That’s not the worst of his problems, however. Reed is all alone now and he is starting to be torn apart by fears that he may have caused an innocent man to commit suicide. The man was suspected of killing a young girl that was just two years old. He can’t shake the worry that he caused this man to kill himself. Was the man innocent? Was he guilty? Reed may never know.

Reed does have one thing going for him, however, and that’s the fact that Walt Sydowski is on the case. The two are friends and Walt is one of the more famous and respected homicide inspectors on the San Franciscan Police Department payroll. Walt has one of the highest clearance rates in the state of California and he is the real deal. But at the same time that he’s one of the biggest hotshots in the department, Walt has also had to deal with the loss of his wife and the memories of cases past.

Not every case that you leave always leaves you behind when it’s done. The memories tend to linger, and dreams and nightmares, as well as waking life, seems to bring certain details up whenever it feels like it. Walt is haunted by the heartbreaking death of a girl and the fact that he cannot solve the case, even years later.

Both of the men have to face the fact that they are in a race against time. The clock is ticking now and they have to find out the truth behind a spree of kidnappings that have been affecting the Bay Area and terrorizing the public. This thriller is set in the late nineties and to find out what happens, you’re going to have to pick up this book and read it yourself.
