ABOUT
THE BOOK
|
| Max
is a successful lawyer with an international law firm in Vienna. But when
Jessie - his former school friend and daughter of a drug dealer - re-enters
his life, his love and concern for her distraught state takes over. Jessie's
suicide sends Max into a drug-induced oblivion…and so Eagles and
Angels begins. Part love story, part crime thriller, the complex plot
unfolds with a wickedly ingenious structure, full of bizarre twists and
turns: reading it is deeply satisfying, like solving a sophisticated riddle. |
