Sandman Slim investigates Death’s loss of life with this hip, propulsive urban fantasy through a phantasmagoric LA rife with murder, mayhem, and magic.

James Stark has met his talk about of demons and angels, on the planet and beyond. Right now, he’s come in person with the one entity few care to meet up: Death.

Someone offers tried to get rid of Death-ripping the center right out of him-or rather your body he’s inhabiting. Loss of life needs Sandman Slim’s help: he feels anyone who can beat Lucifer and the previous gods at their very own game about Killing Pretty: A Sandman Slim Novel is the only 1 who can resolve his murder.

Stark follows a sordid path deep into LA’s subterranean world, from vampire-infested nightclubs to talent agencies specializing in mad ghosts, from Weimar Republic mystical societies to sleazy supernatural underground combat and sex night clubs. Along the way he meets a incomprehensible girl-distinguished by a set of graveyard eyes-as badass as Slim: she is actually the only person who ever outwitted Loss of life. But escaping her demise has already established dire implications for the rest of the world . and a few others.

For years, Slim has been fighting cosmic forces bent on destroying Heaven, Hell, and Earth. This time, the battle can be right here in the gritty roads of the town of Angels, where a extremely clever, extremely ballsy killer is based on wait.
