Angel Time

Anne Rice

The novel opens in the present. At its center - Toby OíDare - a contract killer of underground fame on assignment to kill once again. A soulless soul, a dead man walking, he lives under a series of aliases - just now - Lucky the Fox - and takes his orders from 'The Right Man'. Into OíDareís nightmarish world of lone and lethal missions comes a mysterious stranger, a seraph, who offers him a chance to save rather than destroy lives. OíDare, who long ago dreamt of being a priest but instead came to embody danger and violence, seizes his chance. Now he is carried back through the ages to thirteenth-century England, to dark realms where accusations of ritual murder have been made against Jews, where children suddenly die or disappear. In this setting, OíDare begins his perilous quest for salvation, a journey of danger and flight, loyalty and betrayal, selflessness and love.
