Opis

It is 1876. Under the apparent direction of the Archangel Uriel, a secret British occult Brotherhood, moves to seize a virtually defenseless America. Annie Eva Fay, as the premier American spirit medium, discovers the chilling presence of Uriel's minions. But Annie Eva Fay is a con woman, her spirits a fake. And Uriel, is he also a fake? Will Annie have enough time to learn the truth? Annie gains the support of the Pinkerton Agency after she saves the life of their rookie operative, Aaron Levin, from a GRC attack. Annie and Levin work to combine Annie's unique contacts and insights with Pinkerton resources to finally confront the GRC and its enigmatic leader, Lord John Acre, in a New York warehouse owned by the GRC, and stocked with weapons and explosives. She creates convincing psychic illusions that have allowed her to live well, her childhood experience living as almost a slave a far memory. Annie will do anything to keep that degrading memory from ever becoming real again. And the GRC? Several of the characters in the novel are historical, including Annie Eva Fay, President U. S. Grant, Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, Robert Allan Pinkerton ... and the Ancient and Exemplary Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross.
