Where does an angel go when he's been to Hell and back?
Renegade angel Bobby Dollar does
not have an easy afterlife. After surviving the myriad gruesome dangers
Hell oh-so-kindly offered him, Bobby has returned empty-handed – his
demon girlfriend Casmira, the Countess of Cold Hands, is still in the
clutches of Eligor, Grand Duke of Hell. Some hell of a rescue.
Forced to admit his failure,
Bobby ends up back at his job as an angel advocate. That is, until
Walter, an old angel friend whom Bobby never thought he’d see again,
shows up at the local bar. The last time he saw Walter was in Hell, when
Walter had tried to warn him about one of Bobby’s angel superiors. But
now Walter can’t remember anything, and Bobby doesn’t know whom to
trust.
Turns out that there's corruption
hidden within the higher ranks of Heaven and Hell, but the only proof
Bobby has is a single feather. Before he knows it, he’s in the High Hall
of Heavenly Judgement – no longer a bastion for the moral high ground,
if it ever was, but instead just another rigged system – on trial for
his immortal soul...
Sleeping Late on Judgement Day is the third installment of Tad Williams' urban fantasy Bobby Dollar series!
