The #1 bestseller and Queen of Thrillers is back…

‘A terrific story, originally told. All hail the new Queen of Crime!’ HEAT

‘A web of a plot that twists and turns and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. This formidable debut is a page-turner, but don’t read it before bed if you’re easily spooked!’ SUN

THE TRUTH WON’T STAY LOCKED UP FOREVER

When a burned body is found in a disused signal box, suspicion falls on lonely teenager Gabriel Webb. There’s no doubt he was at the scene of the crime, but does he really deserve what awaits him in prison?

DS Imogen Grey is certain there’s more to the case than meets the eye. But while she struggles to convince those around her of the truth, her partner DS Adrian Miles is distracted by his own demons.

When a brutal double murder is reported, their investigation is stopped in its tracks. Is the body in the box even who they thought it was? The duo realise Gabriel might have been locked up for a crime he didn’t commit. But with enemies watching Gabriel’s every move, they may be too late.

Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter and Angela Marsons

PRAISE FOR KATERINA DIAMOND

‘A deliciously dark read, Katerina Diamond keeps her readers guessing throughout as she leads us on a very secretive, VERY twisted journey…everything I was expecting from a well-written, pacy thriller.’ LISA HALL, AUTHOR OF BETWEEN YOU AND ME

‘A dark, twisting tale that won’t fail to captivate.’ MINT VELVET

‘This fluid tale about a girl being held hostage is relentless and uncompromisingly dark.’ HEAT

‘This gem of a crime novel is packed with twists until the last page.’ CLOSER

‘Wow, I thought THE TEACHER was fantastic but THE SECRET is on another level. Was gripped all the way through and kept me guessing as the story unfolded.’ NETGALLEY REVIEWER

‘Another grim and gory spider's web from Katerina Diamond – closely following on from THE TEACHER and not letting up on the twists and turns.’
GOODREADS REVIEWER

‘An impeccable novel with nail biting chapters…Katerina Diamond deserves the title of Queen of Crime, because I'll be damned if anyone writes novels like she does. 5* doesn't do this book justice.’ THE BRUNETTE BOOKSHELF

‘Has the feeling of a nightmare come to life…’ LOVEREADING

‘The suspense is literally out of this world.’ COMPELLING READS

‘A dark and twisted tale that had me gasping in fear.’ HANDWRITTEN GIRL

5.0 out of 5 stars The Angel-A Devil Of A Good Read
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2018

I read The Teacher, and it was ok. I didn’t know the characters, and the hints of their backstories, was frustrating. Then I read The Secret, which continued, where The Teacher, left off. I became invested in the characters, and the stories being told. Then I read The Angel. Katerina Diamond is brilliant.

Imogene and Adrian are two of my favorite book characters. With each book I learn a more about these amazing, detectives. They are unique and badass, with a penchant for not following the rules, which leads to great adventures. Dean’s story is unfolding. For one who is not too law abiding, I love him. Gabriel was so easy to like. This book is a total, thrill ride. Ms. Diamond continues to enthrall, with this book. The twists and turns kept me riveted. I didn’t put the book down after I started reading. I couldn’t. Some books make me want them to end, quickly. I did not want The Angel to end. But it did, and now I have to wait for the next book.

I can’t wait to see where the story goes from, here. So far, The Angel, has been my favorite book in this series. Ms. Diamond takes crime writing to a new level. Other authors may want to up their game, because this author came out swinging, and I think she will carry on, in the same manner. If you haven’t read these books, you are missing out. Ms. Diamond, that you for sharing your amazing talent with the world, and especially, me. You get a very deserving 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!

Imogene Gray and Adrian Miles are back in the third novel by Katerina Diamond. Although these books can be read as stand Aline’s I have read them in order which I like as the background of the detectives I feel is important to the story.

Diamond keeps you intrigued from the very first sentence to the very last. The detail that she writes in is brilliant as you feel like you are there living the story not reading it, you become that submersed and you cannot put this book down.

The book is told from both the detectives side and the criminals side so you see both points of view and it is done in such a brilliant manner that flows with ease.

Five Stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟must read recommendation for all of your crime and thriller fans!

When the description said "read if you dare", I had mixed emotions about that. Was I going to be so easily manipulated? Well, as you can easily tell, the answer was a resounding 'Yes!', and I'm glad to say that I enjoyed this book more than most in quite a while. You're an amazing story teller, Ms. Diamond. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I'm very much looking forward to the next book.

Começando pela capa linda mesmo sendo uma versão econômica. A história é bem desenvolvida. Eu não li os livros anteriores então o crescimento dos personagens frente a situações anteriores não significou tanto pra mim, mas nada que atrapalha a leitura. Meu primeiro livro desta autora e gostei muito. Eu já to acostumada a ler em inglês, mas foi uma surpresa quando vi que era um publicação britânica, então tem alguns termos que não estava acostumada. Recomendo pra todos que gostam de livros policiais!

This is the third installment from Katerina Diamond and it is as gritty as the previous two. Great character development and a mysterious and twisted plot that will keep you guessing until the final page. Her detectives are not perfect people and I have grown to love them for that. My only criticism would be that the gratuitous sexual activity reads more like a romance novel. I look forward to the next case!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy The Teacher, The Secret and then The Angel it’s totally worth it!!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2017

So I read The Teacher last year- quite a harrowing but gripping read! I was a little apprehensive about reading The Secret and The Angel in case they were as horrific (I just didn’t want the bad dreams!- it’s a love hate thing with me and crime!) Anyway I can’t believe I waited so long... the advantage being I read one after the other in quick succession and in 4 days had devoured them both!

This novel has four main voices DS Imogen Grey (a devilishly addictive character) DS Adrian Miles (who I just adored, felt sorry for and wanted to hug all at once) Dean (the convict boyfriend whose violence you find yourself able to understand - madness but true!) and Gabriel Webb (a 19 year Old goth) who proves a great addition to form of the novel! A strong character wrongly accused of murder but whom has a moral compass you would want your children to have!!!

This was, and I realise I’m being cliche, unputadownable! It’s gripping, twists, turns, captivates and makes me hope that the world in which Katerina presents isn’t the world we live in, which unfortunately is probably not he case! It raises the issues of violence, foster care, child protection, revenge, friendships, relationships and so much more.

Can you be a product of your environment? Can actions be justified? Should you commit a crime as revenge? God - this book made me question my moral code!

A brilliant read and I just hope there is more to come!

Hubby gone camping and so i have spent my day with Imogen and Adrian and Gabriel. I really enjoyed Gabe's story and hope that we meet up with him in the future. Katerina has never disappointed me and I love the way she gives me a really terrific character to care about (Gabriel) as well as the continuing stories of Imogen and Adrian.
