Criminal vigilante, Nurse Agnes Carmichael is back.
Often overlooked by others as awkward and insignificant but little do they know that she is more dangerous than a black widow spider.
Released from the psychiatric ward where she had been having treatment after her suicide attempt, Carmichael takes a post as night nurse in an old people's home, run by a sinister and seedy couple.
Why did her predecessor leave so suddenly? And what is happening to the residents themselves?
Fallen Angel is the fourth episode in the career of Nurse Carmichael. Anthea Cohen combines an exciting intrigue with an unsentimental look at the seamy side of nursing.

'A medical shocker in the grand tradition of P.D. James.' - Chicago Sun-Times
'Nursing stories needn't be romantic mush or pass-the-scalpel melodrama, as hospital veteran Anthea Cohen proves in Angel of Death.' - Daily Mail
'The atmosphere is perfect. The plot delectable.' - Philadelphia Daily News
'Should appeal to those who enjoy a story with strong, credible characters set against a stormy hospital staff situation.' - Bolton Evening News
