*** THE SMASH HIT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER *** *** THE NEW MYSTERY
PHENOMENON FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE APPEAL *** 'The queen
of tricksy crime' - SUNDAY TIMES 'Her best so far' - MARIAN KEYES
'Another resounding success' - DAILY EXPRESS THE DEVIL IS IN THE
DETAIL... True-crime author Amanda Bailey knows all about the
notorious Alperton Angels cult. There have been dozens of books and
films about the Angels, ever since the night nearly two decades
ago, when they attempted to sacrifice a baby they believed to be
the Antichrist. With all the cultists now dead - apart from their
charismatic leader - it seems like there's nothing new to say about
the Angels... until now. The Alperton baby has turned eighteen and
can finally be interviewed, and if Amanda can track them down, it
will be the scoop of the year. But rival author Oliver Menzies is
just as smart, better connected, and 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. The truth
is something much darker and stranger. And the devilish story of
the Alperton Angels is far from over...

RICHARD COLES Can you crack the Twyford Code? Edith Twyford was
once a world-famous children's author, but now her only legacy is
the rumoured existence of the Twyford Code: a series of clues
hidden in her books leading to... what? No one knows - but that
hasn't stopped the speculation. Steve Smith can trace nearly all
the bad things in his life back to Edith Twyford. As a child he
found one of her books, covered in strange symbols. He showed it to
his teacher, Miss Iles, who was convinced it held the key to the
code. Within weeks Miss Iles had disappeared, and Steve has no idea
if she is dead or alive - or if she was right. Now he's determined
to find out. But the Twyford Code hides secrets some would do
anything to possess, and Steve isn't the only one on its trail. The
race is on to solve the mystery of the century. Could you get there
first? The top ten bestselling cosy crime sensation of the summer
from the author of The Appeal, perfect for fans of Richard Osman
and S. J. Bennett.

find research material for a true crime book. You must read the
documents, then make a decision. Will you destroy them? Or will you
take them to the police? 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,
