Not all angels are heaven sent. I am one such angel and I have come to pass judgement on the
living and the dead... A report of a rare and unusual gun - a type favoured by
assassins - being smuggled into the country sparks Detective Harry Hole's interest. Then a
former WW2 Nazi sympathizer is found with his throat cut. Next Harry's former partner is
murdered. Why had she been trying to reach Harry on the night she was killed? As
Harry's investigation unfolds it becomes clear that the killer is hell-bent on serving his own
justice. And while the link between the cases remains a mystery one thing is certain: he must
be stopped.
