About the Book:
Detective Raymond Mallard doesn’t believe in
angels or demons. A disillusioned police officer still healing from
the death of a partner, he is uncertain about his future on the job,
and the last thing he wants to do is investigate a serial killer. He
is forced to do just that, however, when the wife of a fellow officer
is found dead, posed like a work of classical art.
Mallard and his new partner soon connect a long
series of murders to one man. The problem? He has a firm alibi,
provided by his boss, Leviathan Langston.
Langston is a business mogul with a very specific
interest in art. He buys and collects fertility symbols, and he seems
to exude a dark sensuality to anyone who gets within his reach.
Langston is an incubus, with the power to seduce and control almost
anyone, regardless of the costs, regardless of their own values or
beliefs.
In order to solve the murders and bring the
killer to justice, Mallard is forced to accept the reality of fallen
angels, caught between heaven and hell; and he has to do it without
getting caught in the seductive web himself. This it the case that
will lead Detective Mallard to question everything he’s ever taken for
granted, including his own sanity.
