Occupation of Angels

A British secret agent is caught in a plot to assassinate archangels who settled Earth after WWII in this classic thriller from the World Fantasy Award winning author!

"Sharp, brutal, cool-yet also stunningly imaginative and perfectly realised." -Michael Marshall, bestselling author of
The Straw Men trilogy

In 1945, the Archangels materialised over the battlefields of Europe, ushering in a new Cold War. Fifty years later, they are being killed off. . . one by one.

But who - or what - can kill an angel?

Killarney is a shadow executive for the Bureau, British Intelligence's most secret organisation. She is the best - and she always works alone. Sent on a desperate mission to locate a missing cryptographer who may prove the key to the murders, Killarney finds herself running for her life, from London to Paris to Moscow, leading to a confrontation with a very human evil in the frozen wastelands of Novosibirsk.

Plagued by dreams of a different world, and haunted by a swastika adorned with angel wings, it could take all of Killarney's resources to survive, when Heaven itself may be threatened, and God herself may be walking the earth. . .
