The Angel of the Crows
Autor Katherine Addisonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mai 2021
London 1888. Angels inhabit every public building, and vampires and werewolves walk the streets with human beings in a well-regulated truce. A utopia, except for one thing: Angels can Fall, and that Fall is like a nuclear bomb in both the physical and metaphysical worlds.
Dr J. H. Doyle returns to London having been wounded in Afghanistan by a Fallen, and finds himself lodging in Baker Street with the enigmatic angel Crow. But living with a rogue angel is not so easy; the pair find themselves drawn into the supernatural and criminal worlds of London, from a man kidnapped by a vampire nest to Jack the Ripper's horrific murders.
Besides Doyle's nightmares, there is the lingering worry that Crow might Fall...

Recenzii
"Each book Addison writes is a highly-polished and gorgeously set gem. The Angel of Crows is no exception." -- Fran Wilde, Nebula-winning, Hugo and World Fantasy Nominated author of Updraft and The Fire Opal Mechanism
“What a delightful reimagining of the detectives of Baker Street and the London they inhabit. This tale takes flight in ways that are dark and rich and wholly unexpected. Quite simply, I loved it.” – JOHN SCALZI
“The Angel of the Crows is an entertaining ride–a compelling fantasy mystery set in an alternate but startlingly familiar Victorian London. You’ve been here before–not.” – Tim Powers
