In this fascinating novel, Glen Duncan explores the world of the senses through the eyes of Lucifer, who is given one last chance to redeem himself by living a human life. Embodied in the body of Declan Gunn, a man in the midst of a suicide attempt, Lucifer faces the seduction of evil and the discovery of the affection that keeps us human. Through his unique perspective, the novel offers a provocative vision of the Bible and a deep exploration of the human condition.
