The St. Louis County Library Foundation and The Novel Neighbor Present Bestselling Novelist Daniel Kraus

 
Author of “Angel Down”
 

Bestselling author of “Whalefall,” Daniel Kraus presents an immersive, cinematic novel about survival, supernatural wonder, and moral conflict. Private Cyril Bagger has managed to survive the unspeakable horrors of World War I through his wits and deception. But his survival instincts are put to the ultimate test when he and four other grunts are given a deadly mission: venture into the perilous No Man’s Land to euthanize a wounded comrade. What they find amid the ruined battlefield, however, is not a man in need of mercy but a fallen angel. This celestial being may hold the key to ending the brutal conflict, but only if the soldiers can suppress their inner jealousy, greed, and paranoia.
