Laurell K. Hamilton kicks off a new series with A Terrible Fall of Angels. Zaniel Havelock is a detective. He has the special ability to communicate directly with angels. He lives, as you have surmised, in a world where the spiritual is a lot more physical than it is in our world. His latest case involves a demon possession. He must pull out all the stops to get to the demon before more people suffer.
The book is a quick read. It is an obvious series opener, setting up a number of situations and relationships that will obviously be explored in future volumes. The book is interesting enough. I would recommend it to people who are already fans of the author as well as those who enjoy a mix of magic & corporeal religion.
