Jimmy Clarenden's last case didn't end well. Cut down in a hail of bullets, he's now found himself at the Pearly Gates. Jimmy is no saint, so he's stunned to learn he's been summoned by God to take on a highly sensitive job. God's son (the other one) has gone missing and it's up to Jimmy to crack the case. His investigations lead him to an unlikely cast of suspects - femme fatale angels, jaundiced journalists, even the heavenly gatekeeper, St Peter. But what Jimmy uncovers is enough to shake the foundation of Heaven and Hell.
