    When he was 19, James Stark was considered to be one of the greatest natural magicians, a reputation that got him demon-snatched and sent downtown - to Hell - where he survived as a gladiator, a sideshow freak entertaining Satan's fallen angels. That was 11 years ago. Now, the hitman who goes only by Stark has escaped and is back in L.A. Armed with a fortune-telling coin, a black bone knife, and an infernal key, Stark is determined to destroy the magic circle.

    Story

    Found this by fluke, waiting for the third Johannes Cabal book to be released. An awesome gem of a find! I tried to explain the premise to friends, and got stuck with "Hellblazer"'s Constantine + The "Men in Black" movies + Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" (titles just a coincindence) universe. A gritty L.A. Noir with magic. Kadrey weaves a unique reality that at the same time feels established and familiar. Like a brand new pair of boots that are aleady perfectly broken in to your body. The narrator's performance of this first person perspective was perfect, I highly recommend. Already a chapter into the sequel, I can only hope the author doesn't stop at two!
