Synopsis
Stark, also known as Sandman Slim, is a ruthless avenger who has already made one trip to Hell and is now heading back. Los Angeles is in bad shape. Lucifer has returned to Heaven, God is away on vacation, and an insane killer is waging war on both Heaven and Hell.
Stark has several jobs to do at once. He wants to rescue the love he lost long ago, and he has to stop a deranged serial killer. He also has to keep Good and Evil from wiping each other out, and to keep the demonic Kissi from spoiling things for everyone. Even for someone with his record, that is a lot to carry.
This is supernatural fantasy built around an anti-hero, with Stark caught between two sides that both want him in their war. The setting moves between Los Angeles and the underworld he knows from his earlier time there. The tone is irreverent and violent, with the cosmic stakes treated as a mess to be cleaned up.
The book continues Stark's story and picks up with him already in trouble. It is the start of a larger conflict, and the trouble only grows from there.
