Rage of Angels

Rage of Angels is a Sydney Sheldon classic.  I read it over 20 years ago and enjoyed reading it recently just as much.  Sydney Sheldon is truly the master of the game when it comes to suspense, mystery, plot twists and edge of your seat entertainment.

In Rage of Angels, a new lawyer tries to make her way in the competitive and often dangerous world of the District Attorney's office.  She makes a horrible mistake that would seemingly end her career before it has even begun.  But she is a fighter and she struggles back to make a name for herself.  She falls in love with a powerful man, and enters into a relationship that can never be real.  This book follows her life over several decades as she makes choices that affect so many other lives, as she is lied to and played, and as she plays right back.  It has the stuff of an epic novel without being overly lengthy.  In fact, I finished it in only a couple days.

The law, courtrooms, the mafia, exotic locations, love, murder, danger, tough choices - this book was full of all of the makings of a great story.  Funny to read it now, where technology would have helped the main character, and remember that in the time of this novel there were no cell phones, GPS systems, etc.  This is a good read for any Sydney Sheldon fan.

Happy Reading!
