Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey

“I couldn’t put it down” (Charlaine Harris)" That tells me everything I already knew about that author. "James Stark has spent the last 11 years as a hit man in Hell" What exactly, does a hitman do in hell? They're already dead. Does he make them deader? "...but now he’s back on the streets of Los Angeles and looking for revenge." There are between 200 and 300 real murders in LA every year, so, really, who cares about this fake hit-dude's petty revenge?
