    Every action has a consequence. No matter how noble the reason. Since the dawn of time when angels made their decisions to remain with the Host or join the Morning Star in his rebellion, this was the way of things. Everything seemed clear cut: Angels were good, demons were bad, and mortals were rarely involved. But what if a Fallen angel repents? In a small town in Florida, where one woman's past remains a mystery and angels walk amongst mortals, the sins of the past are brought to light as the Hosts of Heaven and the Fallen from Grace collide with the Earth as the battleground. Gabriel, a fallen angel, has to make a difficult choice: to live for the only family he knows or sacrifice it all, knowing his eternal destination. With this question lying before him, the angel will have to make a gamble that might cost him everything.

    "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt", often subtitled A Sequel to "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe written in 1842. This is the first murder mystery based on the details of a real crime. It first appeared in Snowden's Ladies' Companion in three installments, November and December 1842 and February 1843. Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination".
Poe's detective character C. Auguste Dupin and his assistant, the unnamed narrator, undertake the unsolved murder of Marie Rogêt in Paris. The body of Rogêt, a perfume shop employee, is found in the Seine, and the press takes a keen interest in the mystery. In the story, Dupin explains that "it is the object of our newspapers rather to create a sensation—to make a point—than to further the cause of truth",[2] and proceeds by exposing the contradictions in their theories. Even so, he uses the newspaper reports to get into the mind of the murderer.
