Paul Hoffman read English at New College, Oxford, before working in over twenty different jobs, including boardman in a betting shop, messenger boy to a City merchant bank and teacher. He is author of The Wisdom of Crocodiles and The Golden Age of Censorship and now works as a screenwriter, co-writing and producing films.
His name is Cale. They told him he could destroy the world. Maybe he will . . .
The Sanctuary of the Redeemers is a desolate place - a place where hope and joy are not welcome. Most of its occupants have been brought here as young boys, against any will they might have once had. They cower under the terrifying regime of Lord Redeemers whose cruelty and violence have one singular purpose - to serve the name of the Hanged Redeemer.
No one knows their way around all of the Sanctuary, so vast and twisting is its maze of corridors - corridors filled with the stench of centuries old religious fervour.
Standing in one of these corridors is a boy, looking out of a dark window, looking out at the latest unfortunate arrivals to this hell. His is perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old - he is not sure and neither is anyone else. He has long-forgotten his real name, but now they call him Cale. He doesn't remember anything of his former life. He doesn't know anything of his future life . . .
Meet the Angel of Death.

评分如果说一开始,吸引我的是因为这本书独具画面感的封面,那么当我打开这本书的时候,保罗•霍夫曼为我们营造的这个基于十字军东征背景的具有哥特风的神秘的场景,可以说已经让我欲罢不能了。 也许一开始,我们并不太能了解这个世界,毕竟即使已经看过《达•芬奇密码》,我...
