"She was the kind of woman who could knock a monk off a celibacy vow at twenty paces."

The woman in questions is Valerie Tyrell and she wants San Francisco private eye, Nick Sands, to find someone.

She wants him to help her find God. "Your ad in the phone book says you can find anybody. If God is everywhere, this ought to be a piece of cake."

Thus begins Trick of the Light, two people's spiritual journey played out against the backdrop of the hardboiled detective genre.

On the road to locating the "missing person," Valerie and Nick encounter some of the most bizarre and thought-provoking characters this side of the looking glass. It is a journey that challenges their assumptions and beliefs about themselves, the nature of reality, and the universe itself.
