  Beautiful Angeles Falco and her sister Maura have made an appointment to see private investigator, Sam Turner. Maura, uncharacteristically, doesn't show up, but Angeles, who is blind, can speak for both of them: they are convinced that they are being stalked. There is no evidence, but Sam sets great store by instinct, so he takes the case. Besides, Angeles is right - she is being stalked. Maura turns up horribly murdered on the moors, and Sam and his crew are right up to their necks in a very scary case indeed. To top it all, Geordie's brother Ralph turns up out of the blue, and he's not what you'd call an asset to the team. Since his debut in 1995 John Baker has been one of the most highly regarded of Britain's new wave of crime writers. The time is now ripe for his commercial breakthrough, and SHOOTING IN THE DARK, his richest, most complex novel yet, is the one to do it.

  Angeles Falco seemed like something straight from a fifties detective movie when she walked into Sam Turner's office - beautiful, dark and enigmatic, but made strangely vulnerable by her damaged eyesight. All she would say was that she and her sister were being followed, but by whom and for what purpose she didn't know. She feared for their lives. Sam was only too happy to help this gorgeous client - but when her sister turns up brutally murdered on a deserted hillside and he starts to feel a growing affection for Angeles, the case seems to be getting beyond even his world-weary experience. And soon he finds himself up against a serial killer whose dark fantasies will try to destroy Sam's attempt at a new life ...
