Beginning with the murder of Abel by his brother, Fallen rewinds through fury and jealousy, lust and despair, right back to the bite from the apple and mankind's first taste of shame.
From the bones of this age-old tale, David Maine weaves a compulsively readable and startlingly modern human drama of love, betrayal and rage. We know the end of the story, but how did it really begin?
"Maine turns a moralistic lesson into a psychological mystery - again and again throughout this novel, Maine's talent is revealed in the earthy simplicity of such descriptions."
