A love story more than anything else ...

God and the devil have launched a challenge: "For seven days, we will send among men that or that which we consider the best of our agents. The most likely to lead mankind towards good or evil bring victory to his camp, a prelude to the merger of our two institutions. The authority to administer the new world will return to the winner. "
Zofia is the angel sent by God to San Francisco. She works as a security guard at Pier 80 of the commercial port of San Francisco. Lucas is the demon sent by the devil and he arrived in San Francisco on a flight from New York. They meet in Fisher's Deli, a harbor bar. "They both looked long without anything to say. "
There are not really fighting history between good and evil because Zofia and Lucas fall in love from the first day. Zofia has the characteristics of an angel. It brings a tramp in the hospital and she visits a little boy in the hospital etc. But Lucas is less credible as a demon seems to be his only sin of gluttony. The story of their love is not well detailed. During their meetings they do not know what they are discussing. They have nothing in common except that they are supernatural beings.
Nevertheless it is a "must read" for fans of Marc Levy!
