MURDER MYSTERIES

A Play For Voices

written by Neil Gaiman

with wood engravings by George Walker

and an introduction by Brian Smith

In Heaven's City of Angels before the fall, the first crime has been committed: an angel has been murdered.

While the angelic hosts labour to create the universe, one of their number is mysteriously slain by one of their own. Raguel, Angel of Vengeance, is commanded to discover both motive and murderer... while in contemporary Los Angeles, an Englishman learns a dark story of love and consequences.


Gaiman adapted his own short story into this play for voices (which was broadcast by the SciFi Channel's Seeing Ear Theatre, starring Brian Dennehy, and became their most popular play to date).

This limited edition book, containing the complete text of the play for voices, is in the tradition of such works as Dylan Thomas's "Under Milk Wood", and can be read aloud. It is introduced by Brian Smith the director of the original performance.
