Heaven's Children

HEAVEN'S CHILDREN by Paul Smith is a classic love story, thriller and drama set in the underworld of poets, musicians and criminals in Oxford Street and Kings Cross in Sydney. It tells Riana Johnson, renowned for her dark beauty and independence; her notorious friend Larson, drug-dealer, poet and murderer and his ruthless gang headed by Fleming; O'Reilly the old drug pusher; Francis Lynburger, brilliant violinist and womanizer; Bannajee, corrupt big businessman bewitched by Riana; Fontaine and his Poetry Band and his son Rimbaud, dreamer and poet/singer in love with Riana and life; Trish, hopelessly in love with Rimbaud and her brother Charlie in love with heavy-metal, drugs and death. From Sydney's Roxy 'Nite Club and low-life cafes and alleys and bars and striptease joints, to a mansion in Palm Beach; from the blues club Blackbird's to the famous Gay Mardi Gras, their stories intertwine as lovers break hearts and criminals break heads... all guided by Fate that seems cruel, yet in the heart-wrenching, colorful magnificent climax... ironically true to life!
