"When elderly multimillionaire art dealer, Andrew Jakes, is
found brutally murdered in his ransacked Hollywood home, his
young wife raped and beaten, and his art and jewels stolen,
the motive seems pretty clear. But when the investigation
doesn't turn up a single, solid lead, the case is closed and
his stunning young widow vanishes. A decade passes before
Andrew Jakes' estranged son, Matt Daley, does a little
digging of his own, only to find that three nearly identical
killings have taken place across the globe in recent years.
In all cases an elderly, newly wed millionaire is murdered
and his wife assaulted. And in each case the widow is the
sole beneficiary of the will, but donates all her new found
wealth to children's charities... Soon evidence arises
pointing to one woman, dubbed by police as the Angel of
Death, moving around the globe changing her identity over
the years. Matt and former LA investigator Danny Maguire
resurrect the old case, but when the so-called widow
resurfaces once again it becomes clear that nothing is what
it seems... and time is ticking before the Angel of Death
claims her next victim"--
