Dark Angel

Product Description

Tom Sedley's idyllic summer vacation in a leafy post war suburb of north London came to an abrupt & shocking end on the 14th September, 1948 when his sister was brutally murdered in woodland near his house. A tramp was arrested for the crime but for the young boy it was the end of childhood & the beginning of a lifelong search to discover what had actually happened that late summer day. Marcus Warwick was Tom's neighbour & best friend but the murder changed their relationship forever: suspicion clouded Tom's mind & they drifted apart. Unknown to each other they were both sent to Korea two years later, Warwick an officer, Sedley as a humble radio man: & when they met in the chaos of war they both had to acknowledge a gulf of distrust & class had opened between the two. Their new relationship was tested in the savagery of the combat that swept up & down the peninsula that first winter. When Tom & Marcus met again it was in combat & it soon became apparent that the one could barely trust the other with his life. The bitterness of what they experienced scarred them for the rest of their lives. Only years later when Tom stumbles across his sister's secret diary do the events of 1948 once more leap into sharp focus & allow him to seek final justice for her murder.
