Everyone knows the sad story of the Alperton Angels: the cult who brainwashed a teenage girl and convinced her that her newborn baby was the anti-Christ. Believing they had a divine mission to kill the infant they were only stopped when the girl came to her senses and called the police. The Angels committed suicide rather than stand trial while mother and baby disappeared into the care system. Nearly two decades later true-crime author Amanda Bailey is writing a book on the Angels. The Alperton baby now 18 can finally be interviewed: if Amanda can find them it will be the scoop of the year. But rival author Oliver Menzies - just as smart and better-connected - is also on the baby's trail. As Amanda and Oliver are forced to collaborate they realise that what everyone thinks they know about the Angels is wrong. . .
