It will take more than angels and demons to stop him. Reporter Spencer
Finch is embroiled in the hunt for a missing book, encountering along
the way cat burglars and mobsters, hackers and mysterious monks. At the
same time, he's trying to make sense of the legacy left to him by his
late grandfather, a chest of what appear to be pulp magazines from the
golden age of fantasy fiction. Finch gradually uncovers a mystery
involving secret societies, generations of masked vigilantes--and an
entire hidden history of mankind.
