As an advocate for souls awaiting the judgment that will determine where they spend the afterlife, an earthbound angel known as Bobby Dollar walks a thin line between his commitment to absolute good and his sympathy for imperfect humanity. But when someone begins stealing the souls of the newly dead before they can face judgment, Bobby must investigate. The celebrated author of such epic fantasies as the “Shadowland” series now tries his hand at urban fantasy with a tough, likeable hero and a multidimensional plot.
VERDICT The author’s many fans as well as urban fantasy enthusiasts will enjoy Williams’s take on Heaven’s less desirable places as well as his wry humor and keen insights. [Previewed in Kristi Chadwick’s Genre Spotlight feature “Hungry for SF,” LJ 8/12.
