The Dirty Streets of Heaven
by Tad Williams
Synopsis
Bobby Dollar is an angelโa real one. He knows a lot about sin, and not just in his professional capacity as an advocate for souls caught between Heaven and Hell. Bobbyโs wrestling with a few deadly sins of his ownโpride, anger, even lust. But his problems arenโt all his fault. Bobby canโt entirely trust his heavenly superiors, and heโs not too sureโฆ Bobby Dollar is an angelโa real one. He knows a lot about sin, and not just in his professional capacity as an advocate for souls caught between Heaven and Hell. Bobbyโs wrestling with a few deadly sins of his ownโpride, anger, even lust. But his problems arenโt all his fault. Bobby canโt entirely trust his heavenly superiors, and heโs not too sure about any of his fellow earthbound angels either, especially the new kid that Heaven has dropped into their midst, a trainee angel who asks too many questions. And he sure as hell doesnโt trust the achingly gorgeous Countess of Cold Hands, a mysterious she-demon who seems to be the only one willing to tell him the truth. When the souls of the recently departed start disappearing, catching both Heaven and Hell by surprise, things get bad very quickly for Bobby D. End-of-the-world bad. Beast of Revelations bad. Caught between the angry forces of Hell, the dangerous strategies of his own side, and a monstrous undead avenger that wants to rip his head off and suck out his soul, Bobbyโs going to need all the friends he can getโin Heaven, on Earth, or anywhere else he can find them. Youโve never met an angel like Bobby Dollar. And youโve never read anything like The Dirty Streets of Heaven. Brace yourselfโthe afterlife is weirder than you ever believed.
