Angels at Twenty Past

1 November 2020

Released on 28 November 2020, Angels at Twenty Past is written by Mrs Maria Carnegie (née Alexander, Stanhope 77), under the Pseudonym Marchell Abrahams, and has been described as “a fast-paced romantic thriller with a dash of danger”.

Even a burglary in which nothing seems to have been taken can have shattering consequences. Rich girl Cassie soon discovers this after her parents’ house is broken into, and she finds herself being pursued by two very different men, for very different reasons. Privy to a secret she doesn’t know she possesses, the hunt is up from Surrey to Oxford, and from London to ancient Etruscan Italy, as she begins to realise that the deadly wartime conspiracy she has stumbled upon now directly concerns her—and her family.

Pretty soon she and Huw and Colin are themselves being hunted by the governments of two extremely powerful countries, who will stop at nothing, including murder, to get Cassie’s secret into their own hands. But although the three manage to evade capture over and over again the net is closing in...

The secrets of war-torn Berlin reach their long shadows down to the present day; and nothing will ever be quite the same again.
