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.
