Life for children of famous parents is often difficult. Any action could affect the reputation and earning capacity of the family. Throw in a gym slip mum whose child goes missing in the middle of a family party at a Portuguese holiday villa and you have set up the events which will happen nearly two decades later with the same family who have gathered to remember Max, the patriarch, who has died recently.
A similarity between life then and now is slowly revealed in juxtaposed chapters as the man in the villa next door goes missing at the airport before the flight to Portugal and eventually turns up dead in his office back in the U.K.
To solve what has happened now, it needs to be viewed within the context of what happened then.
Another page turner from Chris Brookmyre in a book full of people who are not what they seem.

Yes this is the real "Little John" (or it could be "colin")

Re: Fallen Angel- Chris Brookmyre
It’s interesting that McCann is referenced as something that happened six months later in the book so presumably that’s to avoid litigation.
