From the Publisher
An Occupation of Angels is a taut, high-octane thriller in the tradition of Adam Hall's Quiller novels and Tim Powers' Declare. This is the first novella from the winner of the Clarke-Bradbury Prize, and is an hallucinatory trip that is guaranteed to get you high... as high as angels.
