New Suspense Novel Offers Unusually Realistic Glimpse into the World of Private Eyes

Written by an actual private detective, Angel in a Foreign City is more than just another detective story.

Los Angeles (PRWEB) March 21, 2008 -- Angel in a Foreign City by Moti Shapira introduces a new name to detective suspense--and a new twist on the genre of hard-boiled private eye fiction.

Shapira began writing as a therapeutic outlet; a way to work through the conflicts and stresses of a profession that he insists is ultimately about dealing with people. Inspired by his own experience as a private detective, Angel in a Foreign City delves into the more personal side of the private investigation profession, offering an unusual intimacy with its main character and how he is affected by the events that unfold.

The novel's setting in Mexico City, offset by the protagonist's Jewish heritage offers yet another layer to a story in which the characters are as complex as the plot. And while no detective novel would be complete without romance, the unfolding relationship stands on its own in this novel, heightening both suspense and climax.
