A superb, powerful thriller from 'one of crime fiction's new stars' [Sunday Telegraph]

John Harper has always been alone. His mother died when he was just seven years old and he was raised in New York by an aunt he barely knew. He never even made his father's acquaintance - a man who died shortly after he was born. After leaving the Big Apple as soon as he was old enough, his life consisted of one moderately successful book, a collection of affectionately received newspaper columns and a comfortable existence in Miami.

Then everything changes. A liquor store heist goes wrong - and turns John's existence on its head. It seems that his father didn't die all those years ago. In fact, he has thrived in the New York underworld. But now the man himself lies critically injured in a Manhattan hospital and it's time for father and son to meet at last . . .

Review

Praise for "A Quiet Belief in Angels"
"There aren't nearly enough beautifully written novels that are also great mysteries. Like "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "Smilla's Sense of Snow," "A Quiet Belief in Angels" is one of them." --James Patterson
"R. J. Ellory is a uniquely gifted, passionate, and powerful writer, and the quality of his prose--every word, every sentence--hits "A Quiet Belief in Angels" far above its genre." --Alan Furst
""A Quiet Belief in Angels" is a rich, powerful, evocative novel of great psychological depth." --Jonathan Kellerman

"Outstanding noir Ellory's burning insight into Harper's everyman insecurities drive this triller beyond sordid crime fiction into the darkess recesses of the human heart." "Publishers Weekly," Starred Review"

A long way from his best book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2017

I can' t believe this was written by the same author as A Quiet Belief in Angels. The main character is totally unbelievable, and the other characters just cliches. It was so obvious to me as the reader what his father and associates were that it beggared belief that John Harper apparently couldn't see it. It was so frustrating to read, no one answered questions he asked, making it unbelievable that having left New York he would have ever come back, or stayed once it became clear that no one was going to give him a straight answer about anything. Easily the worst of the 4 R J Ellory books I've read.

‘THE TRUTH’

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2018

Love this author but I thought the book went on a little too long about what THE TRUTH actually was. No big surprise in the end.

I have found the books written by R.J. Ellory really enthralling and this book is no exception. I found them quite by chance and have enjoyed reading all of them as there is always a twist and turn that is not expected.

page filler

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2012

i am a big fan of ellory, but found this to be fatuous and bloated. The whining John harper should have been shot very early on. Most of the book is filled with inane page filling relationship conversation, which could have been trimmed like a halal best cut. The end is good though, and written more like the ellory i know and like.

Worth reading and really intense,as all of his books. Definitely worth reading more by him. Met RJ Ellory at an author event for bookcrossing.
