ABOUT
THE BOOK

Max is a successful lawyer with an international law firm in Vienna. But when Jessie – his former school friend and daughter of a drug dealer – re-enters his life, his love and concern for her distraught state takes over. Jessie’s suicide sends Max into a drug-induced oblivion…and so Eagles and Angels begins. Part love story, part crime thriller, the complex plot unfolds with a wickedly ingenious structure, full of bizarre twists and turns: reading it is deeply satisfying, like solving a sophisticated riddle.
