The Wrath of Angels
In the depths of the
Maine woods, the wreckage of an aeroplane is discovered. There are no
bodies, and no such plane has ever been reported missing, but men both
good and evil have been seeking it for a long, long time. What the
wreckage conceals is more important than money: it is power. Hidden in
the plane is a list of names, a record of those who have struck a deal
with the Devil. Now a battle is about to commence between those who want the list to remain secret and those who believe that it represents a
crucial weapon in the struggle against the forces of darkness.
The race to secure the prize draws in private detective Charlie Parker, a
man who knows more than most about the nature of the terrible evil that
seeks to impose itself on the world, and who fears that his own name may be on the list. It lures others too: a beautiful, scarred woman with a
taste for killing; a silent child who remembers his own death; and the
serial killer known as the Collector, who sees in the list new lambs for his slaughter.
But as the rival forces descend upon this
northern state, the woods prepare to meet them, for the forest depths
hide other secrets.
Someone has survived the crash.
Some thing has survived the crash.
And it is waiting...
