The Queen Of The Damned Horror Paperback Book by Stephen King Ballantine 1992
Azriel is a restless Jewish spirit, born almost 2500 years ago in Babylon, who can be called forth by whoever holds and understands the arcane mystery of the casket of golden bones he is tied to.
Caught between heaven and earth, Azriel is forced to bear witness to the long and troubled history of Western civilization, from the household of an ancient Greek philosopher and the deathbed of Alexander the Great, to the Mongolian Steppes and fourteenth century Strasbourg, where Jews were made scapegoats for the Black Death.
And finally in the present, he is summoned to witness and avenge a brutal murder on Fifth Avenue.
The dead woman is Esther, step-daughter of Gregory Belkin, fanatical messianic leader of a worldwide cult, the Temple of the Mind.
Belkin is known to be the son of Holocaust victims, but he has a secret history which binds Azriel's fate to his.
