"A novel about a journalist in pursuit of a story about a child who survived a cult mass suicide, which may not be all that it appeared to be, told in Janice Hallett's signature original and innovative style of emails, messages, news clips, and screenplay excerpts"--

"Everyone knows the story of the Alperton Angels: the cult who brainwashed a teenage girl into believing her baby was the Antichrist. When the girl came to her senses and called the police, the Angels committed suicide and the mother and baby disappeared. Now, true crime author Amanda Bailey is looking to revive her career by writing a book on the case. According to records, the Alperton baby has now turned eighteen; finding them both will be the true crime scoop of the year. But rival author Oliver Menzies is just as smart, better connected, and also on the mother and baby's trail. As Amanda and Oliver are forced to collaborate, they realize that the truth about the Angels is much darker and stranger than they'd ever imagined, and in pursuit of the story they risk becoming part of it." -- Provided by publisher.
