Gillian Danforth seems to have it all: a successful professional career, heart-stopping ethereal beauty and a flawless figure. But she has a secret. In fact, she has two secrets: a secret identity and a secret life.
And when a businessman she’s just met is found inexplicably dead in Soho, she knows she has no option but to start working with the police. Because she knows how the man died, why he was murdered, and who – or rather what – killed him.
She knows because that's her job.
Gillian is an immortal, tasked with combatting the demonic entities that stalk the streets of London, seeking souls to consign to Purgatory. That's hard enough, and nearly as difficult as convincing the investigating officer that she really is an angel and not some kind of demented fruitcake. Then they work together as a team.
She's good at her job, perhaps even too good, because she suddenly realises that her actions have incurred the wrath of a diabolic presence infinitely more dangerous than anything she has faced before. And she knows that this time, despite her angelic abilities, she has no power strong enough to save her immortal soul.
