Description

A smart, kick-arse Urban Fantasy from a new master of the genre. Kill City Blues is the fifth book in the fantastic Sandman Slim series.
James Stark, aka Sandman Slim, has managed to get out of Hell again renounce his title as the new Lucifer, and settle back into life in LA. But he's not out of trouble yet. Somewhere along the way he misplaced a weapon from the banished older gods who now want it back.

The hunt leads Stark to an abandoned shopping mall a multi-storey copy of LA infested with Lurkers and bottom-feeding Sub Rosa families, squatters who have formed tight tribes to guard their tiny patches of territory. Somewhere in the kill zone of the former mall is a dead man with the answers Stark needs.

All Stark has to do is find the dead man, get back out alive, and outrun some angry old gods with a few killers on his tail.

Reviews

Praise for Sandman Slim:

The best B movie Ive read in at least twenty years. An addictively satisfying, deeply amusing, dirty-ass masterpiece, Sandman Slim swerves hell-bent through our cultures impacted gridlock of genresits like watching Sergio Leone and Clive Barker co-direct from a script by Jim Thompson and S. Clay Wilson. William Gibson

If Simon R. Green wrote an episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter, it would read much like Sandman Slim violent, vivid, non-stop action of the supernatural kind. I couldnt put it down. Charlaine Harris
