In this heart-pounding epilogue novel to the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling Sandman Slim series, James Stark once again finds himself between a rock and a hard place--except this time the rock is Heaven, and the hard place is Hell. A devil's work is never done. James Stark, aka Sandman Slim, is trying to find his footing in a Heaven that's anything but heavenly. And when God gets attacked and the angels and hellions start picking sides for a new war, the celestial realm is one spark away from an explosion. Stark just wants to be left alone to watch old movies, but when a madman named Dixie Midnight starts cutting a bloody path through the palace, he's dragged back into the fray. Stark's investigation uncovers a conspiracy that goes deeper than he could have ever imagined. And every new encounter leads to yet another mystery, another foe, and--at one point--a spell that is inexorably draining his very essence. Betrayed by those he should be able to trust, hunted by supposed friends and enemies alike--all while running out of time, because apparently there is nothing after the afterlife--Stark must navigate the treacherous corridors of Heaven and the backroads of Hell to solve a problem he only sort of understands.

And he'd kill for a good apple fritter. Death is not the worst thing that can happen to Stark--dealing with bureaucratic assholes, renegade angels, and homicidal sociopaths is . Stark thought he was done with being the monster killer.done with being the monster. He was wrong. And that means Heaven must wait.
