The Angel of New York

'Unputdownable!' Laurence O'Bryan, author The Istanbul Puzzle
New York faces one of its biggest challenges, as it prepares to host the 2020 Olympic Games. A young girl brought to New York by Russian sex traffickers has managed to escape her captors. She gives birth to a baby boy in one of the buildings due to be demolished to make way for the Olympic Village. But the girl dies, and her baby is lost on the Olympic site as a terrifying storm approaches. It is Christmas Eve when news of the abandoned baby starts to filter out, due to the detective work of once-disgraced journalist Bill Byrne.
Byrne and Dr Caroline Teeling go in search of the missing baby, finding love on the way. But many forces are gathered against Byrne and Teeling, not least the savant-like developer Alonso Visconti. He has links with organised crime as well as many powerful allies in his pay. Visconti needs that building to come down to cover up an unspeakable act of murder he has committed.
As the clock counts down to the midnight Christmas deadline, it looks like nothing can stop the demolition going ahead. New York faces a heart-rending dilemma: to choose between saving an innocent life or going for Olympic glory.
Will the angels of New York guide its people into making the right choice?
Will love win out in the end?
