Vancouver is in an uproar over the death by gunshot of a Scottish nanny, Janet Stewart. An almost deliberately ham-handed police investigation has Constable Hook suspecting a cover-up. The powerful United Council of Scottish Societies is demanding an inquiry. The killing has become a political issue with an election not far away. The city is buzzing with rumours. Miss Stewart's fellow nannies have accused the Chinese houseboy of murder, capitalizing on a wave of anti-Chinese propaganda led by the Asian Exclusion League and enthusiastically supported by the sensational press--not to mention the Ku Klux Klan, which has taken up residence in upperclass Shaughnessy. The White Angel is a work of fiction inspired by the cold case of Janet Smith, who, on July 26, 1924, was found dead in her employer's posh Shaughnessy Heights mansion. A dubious investigation led to the even more dubious conclusion that Smith died by suicide. After a public outcry, the case was re-examined and it was decided that Smith was in fact murdered; but no one was ever convicted, though suspects abounded--from an infatuated Chinese houseboy to a drug-smuggling ring, devil-worshippers from the United States, or perhaps even the Prince of Wales. For Vancouver, the killing created a situation analogous to lifting a large flat rock to expose the creatures hiding underneath. An exploration of true crime through a literary lens, The White Angel draws an artful portrait of Vancouver in 1924 in all its opium-hazed, smog-choked, rain-soaked glory--accurate, insightful and darkly droll.

The men she recruited to run her Amazon empire of drugs and death called her the White Angel. The ultrasecret US agency known as the Committee called her the most dangerous woman in the world. The blonde had skin of peaches and cream, cornflower-blue eyes, and legs that went all the way to heaven. She looked like an angel, but no man or woman ever killed more ruthlessly-or enjoyed it more. Killing her was Sam Borne's next assignment. To succeed he'd have to use every fighting skill he learned as a commando in Vietnam ... and as a ninja assassin. But even his superb training might not be enough to save his life when he is face-to-face with a woman so beautiful that he wants her love just as much as he wants her dead.
