Liked the read. Did have the person pegged who 'did it', but won't go into detail and wreak it for any one.......more

“Angel Wings is a top-notch thriller, original, sharp, tough, smart, suspenseful and full of surprises, in which a tough guy cop and the most original and intriguing serial killer since Hannibal Lecter fight it out in a book which reads like a classic vintage noir novel.” —Michael Korda, author of Queenie“Howard Kaminsky’s Angel Wings is a haunting thriller that proves itself and provides its satisfactions line by line. It involves the pursuit of a psychopathic killer in coastal New England. Brisk and salted with character and setting, wonderfully suspenseful, with memorable dialogue and fine turns of plot, Angel Wings is entertaining from first to last.” —Robert Stone, author of Dog Soldiers, A Flag for Sunrise, and Damascus Gate“Good cops, bad cops, for me the only genre. The clips come loaded, the players are strapped. Notwithstanding, I am not blowing smoke when I aver that Angel Wings tied, twisted and turned me like a huge bedspread in a laundry dryer. And in the face of my fifty years in the police homicide sphere, the denouement, fuggedaboutit, floated me into a sea of discombobulation. I have yet to recover. I volunteer to write the screenplay on spec.” —Edwin Torres, author of Carlito’s Way, Q&A, and After Hours“Howard Kaminsky’s Angel Wings has it all—maddeningly elusive serial killer, tough Mafiosi, tougher cops, willing ladies in the prime of life, great Italian food, a story that’s like drinking a hundred cups of espresso.” —Charles McCarry, author of The Secret Lovers
