... Blood of Angels by Michael Marshall

I couldn't stop myself from sitting down this afternoon and reading through the last fifty pages of this - the third "crime" novel by Michael Marshall Smith.
His writing is once again clear and flowing and the observations on human behavior are just as good as they are in his scifi books.
I hope that the many people who've left their mark in the back of the book (in the right place but without a sticker to direct them so they have been well trained) are tempted to find his scifi books since they are all essentially also about world-weary detective types who find redemption. Of course they probably "never read that sort of stuff".
