After a breakthrough in an investigation, Alex McEwan finds the address of his old lover - carved into the flesh of a murderer.
While researching a book on Scottish Masonic buildings, Kate Harlow - McEwan's lost love - has become involved with the occult underground, and powers beyond her comprehension. Kate's occult mentor has a devious plan, and to him, Kate is just a tool. Meanwhile, other shadowy figures of Scotland’s occult underground have their own agenda.
Alex and Kate race against time to prevent the fallen angels from heralding the Apocalypse. But are they already too late?
Richard Mosses has been telling stories most of his life. This is one of them.
Richard was born on a small island off the coast of Europe and went to live on a bigger island, and has spent time living on the island of Ireland. He grew up under Mutually Assured Destruction, and was haunted by the Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water. From scripting zombie films for the kids in the village he grew up in, to Storytelling at National and International levels in The Camarilla LARP society, he's tried his hand at most forms of telling tales.
Since the Noughties, Richard's stories have appeared in literary magazines and genre anthologies, exploring history and belief from Gnostic heresies to punk magic. His novels cover similar territory in the strange nexus of angels, cryptography, magic, and espionage.
Don't be scared off by the religious undertones. Most books about vanished civilizations and ancient relics can't help but be inclined that way because they dig up ancient peoples and the gods they worship.
This was a great book with a lot of action and whodunit. I've always been interested in fallen angels and Nephilim, and this is a different way to look at them.
Except for the pain, I would love to hear, "The Name of God," the way the Alex and Kate was able to hear it! As I was reading the description, I got tears in my eyes.
From what I can tell, this book has been out a while, so I truly hope the author has a second book written. I would love to share more adventures with Alex and Kate, maybe even find the Mistress... if she is still alive!
