When I first met the Desolation Angel he was sprawled insolently across the top of my refrigerator. He wore a black three-button single-vent suit, and smoked a long cigar, the ashes of which he tapped into his left jacket pocket. He didn’t acknowledge me until I was almost on him. Raising two red eyes in my direction, he said, “Don’t sweat it. I’m here to help.”

Twelve extraordinary stories by the author of the acclaimed novel Their Faces Were Shining, shortlisted for the 2011 New Zealand Post Book Awards. 

“'One of the year’s few must-reads.'” —- Paul Little, North & South

“'Wilson is never less than sure-footed.”' - —Guy Somerset, NZ Listener

'Dazlingly written' - Nicholas Reid, Sunday Star-Times
