Publisher Description
NYPD sergeant Kathleen Mallory is drawn to a place far away from home. In a small town in Louisiana, she steps off the train. Within the hour, one man has been assaulted, another has had a heart attack, a third has been murdered, and Mallory is in jail, though she had nothing to do with any of these three events. She is there for an entirely different purpose.
Seventeen years earlier, Mallory's mother died in this town, stoned to death by a mob, and the six-year-old Mallory had disappeared, to reappear on the streets of New York. Now she's back to find out who killed her mother, and what happened to the body, vanished as well, its only trace a winged angel in the local cemetery.

"This is an author that I'll want to go back and revisit when I retire and have more time. This book left NY City behind and traveled to the deep south. Lots of twists and turns before the end comes. The characters are so strong, and we learn more about Mallory's past!"
— Mary (5 out of 5 stars)

" This was my first "Mallory" novel and it was pretty good. However, I felt the author left her audience hanging by not fleshing out her characters. Not necessarily physically, but a good look inside them. "

" I had a much better appreciation for this book reading it a second time and in order of the series. "
— Kel, 7/13/2011 -
" This was a good book as it brought closure to the reader as to Mallory's background. The ending was a "hollywood" ending...a bit unbelievable without using Hollywood's special effects, but I still liked it! "
— Deb, 7/1/2011 -

— Kel, 12/23/2010 -
" Highly improbable, but the characters are so awesome you simply sit back and enjoy the ride. Why this series hasn't been picked up for TV or film, I don't know. "
— Kt, 4/19/2010 -
" My absolute favorite of this series! Having her return home and face her personal demons was fantastic. This was such a well-written series that I was really disappointed when there were no more forthcoming. "
— Amy, 3/9/2010 -
" I've found this series to be interesting and intriguing but very difficult to read at times. Kathy Mallory's character is too dark sometimes - and I usually don't mind dark. I found Stone Angel, in particular, difficult to read and had to take a break from the series. "
— Sherdnerd, 1/22/2010 -
" Always a delight. I enjoyed all the Mallory novels. "
— Joan, 1/16/2010 -
" Would rate higher than five given the opportunity. Watching Mallory and trying to guess what she would do/did was exciting. Conflicting emotions raged: grow a soul or not. <br/> <br/>This book really held my attention. "
— Charles, 3/4/2009 -
