ANOTHER INSTALMENT OF GOTHIC SUSPENSE FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES
The magnificent 'Songs of the Seraphim' series continues with a lyrical and haunting novel of angels and assassins set in dark and dangerous worlds.
Anne Rice's extraordinary new novel summons up for us the world of fifteenth-century Rome: of Michelangelo, Raphael, the Holy Inquisition ... a city of domes and rooftop gardens and rising towers. And into this time, into this century, Toby O'Dare, former government assassin, is also summoned, by the angel Malchiah, to solve a terrible crime of poisoning and to search out the truth about a haunting by an earthbound restless spirit - a diabolical dybbuk.
As Toby once again embarks on a powerful journey of atonement, he is reconnected with his own past, with matters light and dark, with the promise of salvation and with a deeper and richer vision of love.
Anne Rice is the author of more than thirty internationally bestselling books. She came to fame with 'The Vampire Chronicles', including Interview with the Vampire. The first in 'The Songs of the Seraphim' series was Angel Time.
