Synopsis The Angel of Highgate by : Vaughn Entwistle

“NOTHING LESS THAN THE WICKEDEST MAN IN LONDON…” It is October 1859, and notorious philanderer Lord Geoffrey Thraxton cares for nothing except his own amusement. After humiliating an odious literary critic and surviving the resulting duel, he boasts of his contempt for mortality, and insults the attending physician. It is a mistake he will come to regret.

Synopsis Falling Angels by : Tracy Chevalier

A New York Times bestseller From the author of the international bestseller Girl With A Pearl Earring and At the Edge of the Orchard, Tracy Chevalier once again paints a distant age with a rich and provocative palette of characters. Falling Angels follows the fortunes of two families in the emerging years of the twentieth century in England, while the Queen's death reverberates through a changing nation. Told through a variety of shifting perspectives—wives and husbands, friends and lovers, masters and their servants, and a gravedigger's son—Falling Angels is graced with the luminous imagery that distinguished Girl With a Pearl Earring, Falling Angels is another dazzling tour de force from this "master of voices" (The New York Times Book Review).

Synopsis The Revenant of Thraxton Hall by : Vaughn Entwistle

Arthur Conan Doyle has just killed off Sherlock Holmes in "The Final Problem," and he immediately becomes one of the most hated men in London. So when he is contacted by a medium "of some renown" and asked to investigate a murder, he jumps at the chance to get out of the city. The only thing is that the murder hasn't happened yet—the medium, one Hope Thraxton, has foreseen that her death will occur at the third séance of a meeting of the Society for Psychical Research at her manor house in the English countryside. Along for the ride is Conan Doyle's good friend Oscar Wilde, and together they work to narrow down the list of suspects, which includes a mysterious foreign Count, a levitating magician, and an irritable old woman with a "familiar." Meanwhile, Conan Doyle is enchanted by the plight of the capricious Hope Thraxton, who may or may not have a more complicated back-story than it first appears. As Conan Doyle and Wilde participate in séances and consider the possible motives of the assembled group, the clock ticks ever closer to Hope's murder, in The Revenant of Thraxton Hall by Vaughn Entwistle.

Synopsis The Fallen Angel Model by : Ron Morgan

"In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth?God said: Let there be light, and there was light. God saw that the light was good. God then separated the light from the darkness." And so begins the story of our cosmic creation. When Lucifer and other angels fell, all hell broke loose! Literally. Can we correlate physical evil with the free will action of these fallen angels? The Fallen Angel Model addresses that question by speculating on whether our evolving universe, filled with ontic and moral evils, found its origin in Lucifer's rebellion.
