In the City of Falling Angels, the angels have abandoned Heaven and all that is holy. They've descended to Earth in search of new pleasures, but find themselves ensnared in the brutal realities of human existence.

As the angels get drunk on human booze, trade sex for drugs, and succumb to the temptations of the flesh, they reveal their most shameful secrets and betray one another.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, a young man named Michael is trying to make his way in the world. He's a talented musician and has a beautiful girlfriend, but he's not content. Michael longs for something more.

One night, Michael has a dream in which he meets an angel named Gabriel. Gabriel tells Michael that he's been chosen to bring Heaven back to Earth. Michael is skeptical at first, but he decides to find out more.

Together, Michael and Gabriel journey across Los Angeles, meeting strange characters and learning the truth about the angels. As; 8vo; 414 pages; MR.
