ARCHIE WILLIAMS RECIEVES A LETTER STATING THAT HIS DAUGHTER, WHO DIED AT BIRTH 47 YEARS AGO, IS ALIVE. HE ASKS JAKE TRAVIS TO FIND HER. “To understand Archie, know that he believes in the fairy tale,” Bobbie Lee, Archie’s current wife, informs Jake. “He is a man who loves love.” With those words, Jake sets out to reconstruct the past. He discovers that many of the mothers who gave birth at the clinic, where Archie’s girlfriend Lisa attended, also had stillborn babies. Jake realizes what no one saw at the time. Numerous of those young women were soon murdered, victims of random hit-and-runs. Including Lisa. But the past is always present, and Jake’s actions draw the attention of a man who, dormant for years, rallies for one last hurrah. When Angels Cry is a gripping and emotional tale of a man’s quest to learn the truth about his daughter and the fate of the first woman he loved. But is Archie Williams a man doomed at both ends of love? “Lane’s prose flirts with wonder and sensuality.” Foreword Reviews
