Todd Crawford (a Clockwork in the Stars) is in Hell, and within the heart of The Final Gospels is a search for his retrieval, but be warned: once in Hell you may never wish to leave. This sophomore novel exploits the the journey of two angels cast from Heaven to Hell, along with their primitive companion named Jesus, as they experience the importance of individuality, love, and in the end loss that takes play in the ballad of life firsthand as wars, both personal and social, tear all they knew apart. The Final Gospels, amongst many other things (including a war on modern art) is the perfect contrast of light and dark, proving that one cannot be without the other, and sometimes that night is more welcoming than day.
