Description

Through his family, Kurt is heir to the Hauptmann dynasty and the mystery of creating stained glass, as well as other arcane heritages. One of the family secrets is a path to divinity that runs through darkness as well as light. Another is the familys bond of blood, its own and that of its enemies. As Kurt gropes toward the truth, so does the tough and cynical cop, Jack Skelote.

Picked up this book because it looked interesting from the cover, and it wasn't so long that I couldn't risk the experiment of giving it a try. For a ways into the book, though, it moved slowly and I almost gave up on it. But then it picked up. I have to agree with one of the reviewers on Amazon that said (1) the author didn't take enough time to develop his characters, (2) people were killed off too fast, and (3) the author has a great way with metaphor and simile.
