The novel opens in the present. At its center: Toby O'Dare-a contract killer of underground fame on assignment to kill once again. A soulless soul, a dead man walking, he lives under a series of aliases- just now: Lucky the Fox-and takes his orders from "The Right Man." Into 'Dare's nightmarish world of lone and lethal missions comes a mysterious stranger, a seraph, who offers him a chance to save rather than destroy lives. 'Dare, who long ago dreamt of being a priest but instead came to embody danger and violence, seizes his chance. Now he is carried back through the ages to thirteenth- century England, to dark realms where accusa- tons of ritual murder have been made against Jews, where children suddenly die or disap- pear ... In this primitive setting, 'Dare begins his perilous quest for salvation, a journey of danger and flight, loyalty and betrayal, selfless- ness and love.
