When successful London real estate agent, Isabelle Goh, is left close to death in an attempted assassination, Detective Ayesha Nur begins a case that not only brings her face to face with her own demons, but sends her on a journey to unravel Goh’s long-hidden secrets. What happened a half-century ago in post-colonial Singapore? Who was baby Rosie and how did her disappearance so many years in the past lead to the shooting in modern-day London?

UNTIL EVEN THE ANGELS, Suzanne Scott Tomita’s debut literary crime novel, is a story of class division in a rapidly changing world, childhood friendships gained and lost, and bonds that erode, but can never be erased.

“Richly evocative and perfectly timed — Suzanne Scott Tomita propels us from the class struggles of post-colonial Singapore to modern-day London where dark truths reveal themselves amidst the fractured bonds of friends who have endured. A brilliant debut!”
–Simon Rowe, author of Mami Suzuki: Private Eye
