The
Dirty Streets of Heaven is Tad Williams new novel,
the first in the Bobby Dollar series
(Hodder & Stoughton, £18.99, out in September).
“Bobby Dollar is an angel – a real one. He
knows a lot about sin, and not just in his professional capacity as an advocate
for souls caught between Heaven and Hell. Bobby’s wrestling with a few deadly
sins of his own: pride, anger, even lust. But his problems aren’t all his
fault. Bobby can’t entirely trust his heavenly superiors, and he’s not too sure
about any of his fellow earthbound angels either, especially the new kid that
Heaven has dropped into their midst, a trainee angel who asks too many
questions. And he sure as hell doesn’t trust the achingly gorgeous Countess of
Cold Hands, a mysterious she-demon who seems to be the only one willing to tell
him the truth.
When the souls of the recently departed
start disappearing, catching both Heaven and Hell by surprise, things get
bad very quickly for Bobby D. End-of-the-world bad. Beast of Revelations bad.
Caught between the angry forces of Hell, the dangerous strategies of his own
side, and a monstrous undead avenger that wants to rip his head off and suck out
his soul, Bobby’s going to need all the friends he can get – in Heaven, on
Earth, or anywhere else he can find them.”
