A Chicago native, a kind and gentle man living in Chicago, on his way home from work one late Friday night on a subway train, got robbed, and killed. He wakes up to find himself in heaven where he meets Michael, the Archangel of war. Michael asked him to go back to earth as an angel in his army of angels, sent around the world to wage a war on humanity and crime. Man's dirty wars, that bring human indignity, human injustices, and death around the world to the innocent humans caught in the crossfires of other evil humans. John Griswall is his name, and this is his story, true to fact as I know it. John becomes an angel of death in Michael's army. He wants to do his part in saving the world from themselves. Save his beloved family he left behind from God's wrath of Armageddon, if the angels fail to make a difference.

The police think there is a vigilante killer loose in the city doing the killing.

The dragnet is on for a deadly serial killer. Wherever he goes, and whoever he kills, he leaves his calling card. A death card found on the body only he can leave, sending out the word it was him, and only him, bringing death to all criminals who cross his path. A team of hard-nosed veteran detectives, try to find and stop this vigilante only to find out he is a real angel. What are you going to do to a real angel sent from heaven?

"Why now, and who is next, is the most important questions, Christy is willing to risk her own life to find out the answers.

Some people must be convinced the hard way by this one sole detective, this is a real angel, and heaven does exist. They find out he is here to stay, and not to mess with him, or get in his way or else. Others refuse to believe until it is too late for them to repent, and the only other option is death. What do you do with a real angel from heaven killing criminals, and finding bodies by the dozens? He does not fall under man's written laws. God has invoked a set of new laws for man to follow, and John only answers to God and heaven. For hundreds of thousands of years, this world was Satan's or Lucifer's playground of pleasure, sin, and despair. The war of good and evil is on, and he is not going to give up this planet without a fight. Chicago is forced to come to terms with new laws, and this angel here to carry them out.

Angel Hill is a loner, mostly disregarded by her peers as a goody-goody. Her father is dying, and her family’s financial situation is in turmoil. Though they’ve attended the same schools, Isaiah never noticed Angel as anything but a dorky, Bible toting church girl. Then their English teacher offers them a job on her mobile library, a three-wheel, two-seater bike. Angel can’t turn down the money and Isaiah is soon eager to be in such close quarters with Angel every afternoon. But life changes on May 31, 1921 when a vicious white mob storms the Black community of Greenwood, leaving the town destroyed and thousands of residents displaced. Only then, Isaiah, Angel, and their peers realize who their real enemies are.
