How can you resist a story about the Grim Reaper, falling for a female cop, who is investigating a serial killer, that Death, himself, has been following? Phew! A chilling suspense story that will take your imagination to another level.

Synopsis

Angel of Death by J. Robert King

The angel of death in Chicago oversees all people in the megalopolis, making sure their deaths fit their lives. Though most deaths naturally do, those that result from serial murder do not, so the angel spends much time trailing a serial killer in his patch.

On the trail of one such man, he encounters a cop and falls in love with her. When he is assigned to kill her, though, he has to make a choice between divinity and humanity.

An astounding new story from the critically-acclaimed J Robert King.

Reviews

King does everything well--characters, prose, plot, humor, drama. Mad Merlin starts out great and keeps getting better. My only complaint is that the book ends. - Locus, reviewing King's Mad Merlin

More than anything else--the deft writing, the astounding battles, or the intellectual thrill of relating King's unique slant on Arthurian legend to other writers
versions

--it is that vision that make this novel special. - Publishers Weekly, reviewing Mad Merlin

From the first page I was hooked... This is a marvelous read! - Elaine Bergstrom, reviewing The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls

Le Morte d'Avalaon is a fresh and colorful interpretation of the Arthurian mythos reading like a ballad sung by troubadours of yesteryear. - Harriet Klausner in Books-n-Bytes, reviewing Le Morte d'Avalaon
