    About this series

    Valerie Vaughn is back and this time it's personal. When Valerie Vaughn foils an assassination attempt on her life, she unknowingly earns the bitter enmity of the assassin's wife, another professional killer known as The Angel of Death. The Angel of Death vows to first strip Valkyrie of everything she loves and only then to kill her in her misery.

    Meanwhile, Valerie Vaughn continues her career at PIA, the private intelligence agency she works for, and continues to discover the ways in which working for a private contractor has different rules than working for the Unites States government. Will she discover that she and her loved ones are being stalked? Will she be able to prevent the Angel of Death from taking her revenge?

    Mullany follows up on the well-reviewed debut with this excellent sequel. He continues to mine the vein of how the recent changes in how the United States conducts its business profoundly affects the type and manner of intelligence gathering that intelligence officers must undertake. Good use of humor, sex, and dialogue flesh out a rock-solid story.

    Joseph E. Mullany (b.1965-) Published works: In the Shadow of Idols Angel's Prey Joe brings his corporate experience as a Business Manager and Strategic Analyst to bear in the Valkyrie Series, (In the Shadow of Idols and Angel's Prey) where he examines the recent outsourcing of intelligence gathering from governments to private corporations. The consequences of privatization are as varied as they are surprising. In his debut thriller, veteran CIA agent Valerie Vaughn joins the private contracting world and embarks on a new series of missions, with a new set of rules. Events lead inexorably to the dramatic conclusion that has since proved to be sadly prescient. In Angel's Prey, the follow up novel to In the Shadow of Idols, things turn personal as a female assassin vows to avenge Valerie's killing of her assassin husband.Meanwhile, Valerie continues her struggle to come to grips with working for a private contractor rather than the United States. These books are masterpieces of logic and cause and effect, wrapped into compelling story lines that engage the reader. Blending elements of mystery and humor into the typical spy thriller format, while giving the characters a real depth, Mullany has created a compelling and memorable series.
