Der Fall scheint eindeutig, doch der Teufel steckt im Detail ... Die True-Crime-Autorin Amanda Bailey weiß alles über den berüchtigten Fall der Engel von Alperton.

Doch während sie immer tiefer in die Recherchen eintaucht, wird klar, dass in diesem Fall nichts ist, wie es scheint. Und dass die Geschichte der Engel von Alperton noch lange nicht vorbei ist ...

Iedereen kent het verhaal van de Alperton Angels: de sekte die een tienermeisje hersenspoelde en haar deed geloven dat haar baby de antichrist was. Toen het meisje weer bij zinnen kwam en de politie belde, pleegden de Angels zelfmoord en verdwenen moeder en baby. Nu is waargebeurde misdaadschrijver Amanda Bailey op zoek naar een manier om haar carrière nieuw leven in te blazen door een boek over de zaak te schrijven.
