Deep in the shadows under the Paris Opera House resides Erik the Phantom, mysteriously enduring through the decades as the mastermind behind a strange and secret agency. A revolving door of female agents are charged by wealthy Parisians and the French Government to investigate crimes and misdemeanours they would prefer to keep out of the public eye.
The toxic underbelly of Paris is exposed by Erik’s tenacious women operatives as they confront horror and corruption throughout the city. But it is one dreadful murder during the 1910 Great Flood of Paris that brings Irene Adler, Kate Reed and others together for a final, deadly confrontation.
“A fun caper, with touches of the supernatural and horror, full of interesting and enjoyable characters” - Adventures In Poor Taste
“An outlandish entertainment that incorporates references from film, literature, and real life; sending the reader scurrying to the internet to find out who belongs in which category. The cornucopia of characters amusingly defies the conventional. Whimsical and witty, Angels of Music, published by Titan Books, pleasantly boggles the mind.” - Diabolique Magazine
“There’s no problem using this as a starting point for entering the world of Kim Newman...He deserves a genre all his own.” - Impedimenta Magazine
“A fascinating and fantastical underworld” - Barnes & Noble sci fi blog
“A veritable tour de force of imagination and storytelling” - Rising Shadow
“Angels of Music is more than a game of Spot the Reference; it’s also a rousing collection of genre fiction.” BlogCritics
