Pulling the wings off angels
Parker, K. J.2022
Book
Long ago, a wealthy man stole an angel and hid her in a chapel, where she remains imprisoned to this day. That's the legend, anyway. A clerical student who's racked up gambling debts to a local gangster is given an ultimatum - deliver the angel his grandfather kidnapped, or forfeit various body parts in payment. And so begins a whirlwind theological paradox - with the student at its centre - in which the stakes are the necessity of God, the existence of destiny - and the nature of angels.
