Fallen Angel

What happens if a female serial killer has maternal instincts? If she has the face of an angel and a taste for little children? Like an archaeological dig, these three novels are designed to strip away the layers of a psychopath's history.

The structure of the Roth Trilogy is probably unique in crime fiction — and perhaps in any sort of fiction. It is composed of interlocking stories; each novel is self-contained and may be read independently of the others. The first novel, The Four Last Things, is set in the 1990s. The second, The Judgement Of Strangers, moves back to 1970, and the third, The Office Of The Dead, to 1958.

Each book discreetly modifies the others, and each of them is written in a different style. Taken as a whole, the three books make one large novel, which should keep readers occupied for the longest transcontinental flights
