"I imagined a dream of angels. I observed them and heard them in a great and countless galactic night time. I observed the lights that were these angels, soaring here and there, in streaks of amazing brilliance.... I thought love around me in this huge and seamless realm of sound and light.... And something comparable to sadness swept me up and mingled my very substance with the voices who sang, because the voices were singing of me...." Thus begins Anne Rice's lyrical, haunting new book, a metaphysical thriller of angels and assassins that once again summons up dark and dangerous worlds set in times recent. Anne Rice can take us to other realms, this time to the world of 15th-century Rome, a city of domes and rooftop landscapes, rising towers and crosses beneath an ever-shifting layer of clouds; familiar hills and large pines... of Michelangelo and Raphael, of the Holy Inquisition and of Leo X, second boy of the Medici, having forth from the papal throne.... And into this time, into this hundred years, Toby O'Dare, former government assassin, is summoned by the angel Malchiah to solve a terrible criminal offense of poisoning and to search out the reality of the haunting by an earthbound restless spirit-a diabolical dybbuk. O'Dare soon discovers himself in the midst of dark plots and counterplots surrounded by a darker and more dangerous risk as the veil of ecclesiastical terror closes in around him. As he embarks on a powerful journey of atonement, O'Dare is reconnected with his own recent, with matters light and dark, fierce and tender, with the offer of salvation and with a deeper and richer perspective of love.
