β¦ Synopsis
A Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler-inspired murder mystery set in Thomas AquinasοΏ½s vision of Heaven. A noir detective story of fallen angels, the heavenly choir, nightclub stigmatics, a priest with a dirty secret, a femme fatale, and the Voice of God...
Somebody has murdered the angel Gabriel. Worse, the Jericho Trumpet has gone missing, putting Heaven on the brink of a truly cosmic crisis. But the twisty plot that unfolds from the murder investigation leads to something much bigger: a con job one billion years in the making.
This is no mere murder. A small band of angels has decided to break out of Heaven, but they need a human patsy to make their plan work.
Much of the story is told from the point of view of Bayliss, a cynical fallen angel who has modeled himself on Philip Marlowe. The yarn he spins follows the progression of a Marlowe novelοΏ½the mysterious dame who needs his help, getting grilled by the bulls, finding a stiff, getting slipped a mickey.
