The Perdition Score
The Perdition Score: A Sandman Slim Novel | Richard Kadrey
Sandman Slim returns in a stunning, high-octane thriller filled with the intense kick-ass action and inventive fantasy that are the hallmarks of New York Times bestselling author Richard Kadrey. The request from Thomas Abbot, the Augur of the Sub Rosa council, couldn’t come at a better time for James Stark, aka Sandman Slim. For a man who’s most recently met Death—and death’s killer—a few months of normal life is more than he can handle. He needs a little action, and now Abbott wants Stark and Candy to investigate the disappearance of a young boy—and help uncover council members who might be tied to Wormwood’s power brokers. Stark’s plans change when he meets a dying angel who gives him a vial of a mysterious black liquid that could be a secret weapon in the ongoing war between angels who want to allow human souls into Heaven and rebel angels willing to die to keep them out. When one of Stark’s closest friends is poisoned with the black liquid, Stark and Candy have to go to the only place where they might find a cure: Hell. But standing in their way are the damned souls who, even after death, still work for Wormwood. The secret deal they’ve struck with the rebel angels is darker than anything Stark has encountered. Not only does the fate of the world hang in the balance, but also the souls of everyone in it. Stark has to find a way to break the stalemate in the angel war, score the Perdition cure for the black poison, and make it back to LA in one piece—where an old enemy waits to finish him once and for all.

Aaargh, cliffhangers! I am liking the Sandman Slim books better later on in the series than I did to begin with. In this, SS is engaged by his boss to find a missing child and also engaged by an angel to find out what ‘black milk‘ is, a substance that is causing havoc in heaven. And, lo, the two cases are linked. This was a little less gritty than usual, and I say I like the grittiness of this series but maybe, deep down, I really don‘t.

Guys, I did it. I binged the entire 8 books in this series, back to back to back. The last two were slogs though, just not as good as the first six. Would safely say they can be skipped.
Full series review over on Goodreads.

The Sandman Slim series by Richard Kadrey is one of my favorite supernatural fantasy series. It's about a guy who spent 11 years in hell as a hitman but then comes back to Los Angeles and has various adventures. The books are funny and irreverent while at the same time dark. Very much recommended.

Can't really put my finger on why I love the Sandman Slim books so much. They're just all around great stories. Funny, and adventurous. No excessive drama. And solid characters who stay the same character book after book without changing. This newest book is no different.

Good development for the series - and a really fun read! Stark is dealing with his past and becoming more of a detective and less of a brawler (extremely reluctantly). But the ending...damn...infuriatingly well done.
