Defending Angels Coming in 2008: Defending Angels

“Intriguing and wholly different and original. I was hooked from page one. Defending Angels is at once charming, erudite and chilling. This book should give Mary Stanton the same kind of cult following usually reserved for Charlaine Harris!”

—Rhys Bowen, award-winning author of The Molly Murphy Mysteries and Her Royal Spyness
