From award-winning author Tim Downs comes this warmhearted story of mistaken identity and unlikely redemption that will have you both laughing and looking at life from a higher perspective. It's a brilliant plan, if Kemp McAvoy says so himself-and Kemp never hesitates to point out his own brilliance. Kemp is a night nurse for a beautiful but aging movie star in a medically induced coma. And with the help of her agent and a struggling young publisher, he's concocted a can't-fail scheme that will make them all rich. Olivia Hayden is about to receive a heavenly visitor-an angel with a message for all humankind. All it takes is a blinding light and little adjustment of her meds, and when she awakes she'll think it was real-and they'll have an instant bestselling book. The scheme seems foolproof. All they have to do for it to work is be good angels and stay out of trouble. But Kemp McAvoy has never been good at staying out of trouble-and he doesn't realize there may be out-of-this-world consequences for impersonating an angel. Welcome to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, where traffic never stops, people never sleep, and wonders never cease. • Stand-alone novel • Book length: 75,000 words • Also by Tim Downs: PlagueMaker, Head Game, First the Dead
