Sandman Slim is back in Los Angeles, taking on more supernatural foes in this action-packed and inventive page-turner. This is the penultimate volume in the highly acclaimed fantasy adventure series from New York Times bestselling author Richard Kadrey.

As the conflict between rival angels intensifies, James Stark's attention has shifted to seemingly less significant matters since his return to Earth: the invasion of ghosts. The Little Cairo neighborhood in Los Angeles has been plagued by violent spirits, and Thomas Abbott knows that Stark is the only one who can uncover the reason behind their appearance and find a way to eliminate them. Armed with the Room of Thirteen Doors, Stark quickly discovers that the answer may be linked to the unsolved murder of a small-time actor named Chris Stein in the 1970s. As he delves deeper into the cold case, Stark's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Janet, a woman he rescued during the High Plains Drifter zombie attack.

Janet's encounter with the living dead has only fueled her thirst for danger. She is an adrenaline junkie and a member of The Zero Lodge, a club that boasts a "zero chance of survival." The Lodge attracts thrill-seekers who participate in daring events like night walks through the L.A. Zoo, where the most dangerous animals are left uncaged. Stark joins the Lodge to be with Janet, and during his time there, he makes two crucial discoveries that could determine the fate of both Los Angeles and Heaven.

To prevent the Little Cairo haunting from spreading throughout the city, Stark must piece together the connections between the Lodge and a missing angel last seen in a Hollywood porn palace. However, he knows that without his assistance, the bloody war in Heaven could continue indefinitely.
