Mutiny in Heaven

A baby is abandoned at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, the hospital of last-chance patients and the urban poor. When the doctors unwrap the child’s swaddling clothes, they discover vestigial wings. Fourteen years later, Neil is a lonely boy living in a run-down Lower Garden District orphanage. He plots an escape, but ends up entangled in a brutal backwoods murder. On the run from a serial killer, Neil falls into an underworld of occult magic and rock and roll, only to learn that he’s the center of an ancient struggle between God and angel. Neil was never meant to be born, and a secret department of Heaven will do anything to destroy him, even if it means wiping out New Orleans by hurricane. Only one man can save him, but time is running out…
