Detective John Hobbes is searching for a criminal he's already met... already caught... and already killed.

The emergence reading
In Fallen, consciousness is carried by another substrate — a plane of “possession horror”. The story fights on E8 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing evil, possession, supernatural, religion.
