Shakedown is a novel by Don Debrandt centered around Angel and his team.

Synopsis

Doyle had a vision of a seismic shift and everyone's guard went up. After investigation, Angel was led to a group of Serpentine demons who lived locally in a wealthy and private community. Despite close associations with telemarketing, this group of 'monsters' seemed harmless and had no enemies, yet it had become the target of a clan of underground quake demons. The quake demons could reduce living things to a crushed mess. Cordelia Chase and Doyle were dubious of their new clients, but Angel soon found out he had much in common with this community.
