Whose fury enacts the angel's wrath? Suspects multiply: a husband enraged by a willful wife, a professor unfaithful to his dying wife, a poet hungry for praise and competitive students keen with envy.
Accountant Daniel Pryor, trapped in life-threatening mourning for his dead wife, and Lt Evan Titus, brilliant black state trooper, alone in the white world of Maryland's Eastern Shore, must join forces to save Eurydice who seems to entice the violence. They must convince her before it's too late to recognize how the demands of her stem-cell researcher husband-soon to be a Presidential appointee-and her own dark secrets may entwine to summon death's dark angel.
