Until Even The Angels

Mei Mei Goh, domestic servant to the Hamilton family in post-colonial Singapore, must supress her imagination to survive, but she is dying and her long held secrets are revealed.

Imagination supressed. Secrets divulged. A lost child found. Personal demons overcome.

Heaven imagined. Friendship betrayed.

When successful London real estate agent, Isabelle Goh, is left close to death in an attempted assassination, Detective Ayesha Nur begins a case that not only brings her face to face with her own demons, but sends her on a journey to unravel Goh's long-hidden secrets. What happened a half-century ago in post-colonial Singapore? Who was baby Rosie and how did her disappearance so many years in the past lead to the shooting in modern-day London?

UNTIL EVEN THE ANGELS, Suzanne Scott Tomita's debut literary crime novel, is a story of class division in a rapidly changing world, childhood friendships gained and lost, and bonds that erode, but can never be erased.
