A Fallen Angel. A Devil on the Loose. When a young girl is discovered dead on an isolated Irish country road, it seems at first glance to be a simple hit and run. Then the cops see the tattoo on her back – a pair of beautifully wrought angel wings that lend the victim a sense of ethereal innocence. Forensic investigator Reilly Steel is soon on the scene and her highly tuned sixth sense tells her … sense tells her there is more to this case than a straightforward murder.
But with almost zero evidence and no way to trace the girl’s origin, Reilly and the police are at a loss. Then the angel tattoo is traced to other children – both dead and alive – who are similarly marked, and Reilly starts to suspect they have all been abducted by the same person. But why? And will Reilly get to the bottom of the mystery and uncover what links these children together before tragedy strikes again?
Book 3 in the CSI Reilly Steel police procedural series. Forensic crime fiction for fans of Karin Slaughter, Tess Gerritsen & Patricia Cornwell, or TV shows CSI and Criminal Minds.

I just love the Reilly Steel stories. They are always full of twists, turns and surprises. I also read the excerpt of “Watched”. Keep up the good work. I’m sure I’m not the only fan.
Any of the books in the Reilly Steel series stands alone as an entertaining read with realistic and likeable characters. The reader is never burdened by repetitive explanations of past episodes, and the plots are fresh and interesting.
Another good Reilly Steele book. Look forward to reading more.
Very good book read the entire series and waiting for the next one
I was breathless through the whole story (read in one shot because I couldn’t put it down). Totally original and emotionally gripping.
Different and interesting, a page turner to see what happens next
This is about an American forensic scientist in Ireland.
Another good read in the series.
Reilly Steele is a wonderful main character. All her stories are must reads.
CSI Reilly is a good series that I always enjoy.
Good characters and good plot.
Good, but rather confusing at the end.
This is the best I’ve read in the series so far. I was kept guessing what was happening only to find out I was wrong. And the end was NOT what I expected and was left with quite the cliff-hanging twist! Great read!
There are many good reviews written about this book. Wow i say this is a book no one would predict the ending. I could hardly put the book down. Truly an entertaining story and very well told.
Well written and a good story. I recommend it for anyone who likes mysteries.
Enjoyed it. Waiting for the next
I’ve enjoyed all the Reilly Steel books and this was no exception. The character backgrounds interwoven with the current plot of the book made it a book I couldn’t put down. The main characters are interesting in their relationships with each other. The story was intriguing, trying to figure out the possible gang or cult influences. Looking …
I liked this book so well I immediately purchased the next book, The Watched.
Enjoyed it very much!
Keeps you interested.
