After eleven years of brutal, unending torment in Hell, James Stark, also known as Sandman Slim, mysteriously escapes and finds himself back in Los Angeles. He's not the same man – or 'human' – he was before. Imbued with dark magic and an unbreakable will for retribution, Stark's only goal is to track down the magical cabal responsible for his damnation. His former friends and lovers, the members of the Golden Vigil, betrayed him and sent him to the abyss, and now they're going to pay. Navigating a cynical, twisted urban landscape teeming with angels, demons, necromancers, and creatures even stranger, Stark's quest for vengeance is a bloody, wisecracking rampage. This gritty, supernatural noir combines visceral action with a darkly comedic edge, as Sandman Slim reclaims his identity and exacts his brutal justice in a world that never truly believed he'd return.
