Hired to track down a missing man named Patrick O'Gorman, Quinn uncovers a labyrinthine web of secrets, deception, and buried pasts that grows increasingly sinister the deeper he digs. Margaret Millar constructs her narrative with razor-sharp precision, balancing a brooding, atmospheric tone with moments of dark irony that illuminate the fragility of faith and identity. The novel illustrates Millar's extraordinary gift for character psychology, presenting a cast of deeply flawed, utterly believable individuals whose motivations remain tantalizingly obscured until the shocking final revelation. Winner of the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger, this 1962 classic stands as one of the finest examples of literary crime fiction ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820232716507,"sku":"2026100005128-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0181e0f8-3260-40bc-ac07-9fba0f9567a5.png?v=1780054921","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100005128-secondhand-how-like-an-angel","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
