A botched diamond theft and a woman's murderous lust for power set deadly traps for wrongly-convicted Cicero Clay, who must evade a corrupt parole system and survive pursuit through night skies in a vintage WWII Mustang fighter. -I am innocent. The newsblogs refer to me as Cicero Clay, glider flight instructor and paroled convict. But I didn't do it. I can prove it. And no, you don't want to call me by my first name. I am Clay.- ...so begins Lee Baldwin's Angle of Attack. In the words of one Amazon reviewer, -Lee Baldwin has captured the pace of James Lee Burke and the descriptive ability of John Steinbeck.- Soaring NZ Magazine's review stated it's -...a rattling good ride...really good and totally believable...- Set in the worlds of high-performance soaring, WWII fighter aircraft, the world's most expensive diamonds and lovely, quirky women, Baldwin's 2012 mystery novel is -a wonderful afternoon read- that -pushes all the right mystery buttons, - according to other reviewers So, who is the dead man on Clay's porch? How can a glider become a murder weapon? Who is it drugs Clay, then slides into his bed late at night? Who stole his Parole Agent's diamond necklace? Baldwin interleaves plot threads like a master, his tale rooted in everyday realities keeps raising the stakes until the reader is flying through night skies in a stolen warbird, trying to avoid disaster while heading for a place in aviation history.
