When the granddaughter of the wealthy Sachs-Smith family is kidnapped, Louise's skills as a trained negotiator are put to work. She is tasked with helping the desperate mother negotiate what soon turns into a life-or-death situation. The kidnappers will only exchange the deathly ill little girl for an infamous glass figure - known as the Angel of Death - that has been in the family for generations. But there's a problem...the Angel, worth millions, was recently stolen from the family home. As Louise's search for the missing girl continues, it will take her to the depths of human depravity and the ultimate perversion of art and human dignity. Will she be able to find the little girl before her time runs out? Members Reviews: THE STOLEN ANGEL will leave both long-term fans of Sara Blaedel and casual readers of her work wanting more January brings us more Sara Blaedel. THE STOLEN ANGEL is the second installment in her Louise Rick series to be published at the beginning of 2018 (following THE RUNNING GIRL) and picks up about six months after the somber events of that worthy title. Kudos to Blaedelâs publisher and translator Martin Aitken for getting readers in the United States up to speed on Blaedelâs productivity and the events of Copenhagen Detective Inspector Louise Rick. Those who have been following Louise closely will welcome THE STOLEN ANGEL, which thus far is Blaedelâs most intriguing work in the series. As might be expected, the book is comprised of two separate plots that proceed along parallel tracks for a bit before intersecting. This is standard procedure for the majority of contemporary mystery stories, but Blaedel does a particularly good job of using it in two important ways. First, finding the common element between two very diverse plotlines seems almost impossible. Yet bring them together she does, and in THE STOLEN ANGEL, she manages the task while startling the reader. Secondly, Blaedel tends to have the different mysteries sooner rather than later in her books. She does this once again here, springing forth a revelation at about the halfway point that doesnât change everything but certainly sends the story spinning in a new direction. Letâs talk about those plots for just a moment. The first involves a collector of sorts whose macabre interests focus on a terrifying tableau that he is constructing, and adding to, as the novel commences. I donât want to tell you what it is, but itâs sure to send a chill up and down your spine. The second concerns Denmarkâs wealthy Sachs-Smith family, which has provided grist for secondary plotlines running through previous volumes in the series. The bookâs title refers to a religious icon known as the Angel of Death, which had been exhibited in the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople until its disappearance in 1453. Rumors had long circulated that the Sachs-Smith family had discovered the icon and smuggled it out of Turkey decades earlier. As we learn early on in THE STOLEN ANGEL, those rumors were true, a secret passed down to immediate members of the family. So when a replica --- also in the familyâs hands --- goes missing, and a demand is made for the original, one family member initiates a scheme to locate the original, which has been hidden away for several years.
