The 2nd book in the Nightside series. John Taylor has been hired by Jude of the Vatican to find the Unholy Grail, the cup Judas drank from before he betrayed Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, finding it won't be easy as the angels of Heaven and Hell are looking for it as well and they aren't being subtle about it. They will tear the Nightside to pieces to find it, killing everyone in their path and John dares not use his gift as they will tune into it and tear his mind apart using his gift to find the cup. Can he manage to stay ahead of them and find it first? Or will he be too late to save the Nightside and eventually the whole planet? And of course, what does his mother have to do with all this?
Again, very noir in it's telling. A very dark book which takes a look at the inner pain of the characters as part of their quest. More hints are dropped about Taylor's mother but nothing is really said except to show who knows something. An interesting series so far. Chris is enjoying it as well so I'm taking a break to let him get ahead of me in it since he seems to have more time for reading then I do right now.
