Hand of Perdition

It was all a big mistake. Christopher Sawyer never wanted to be Hell's bounty hunter, and he was pretty sure Hell didn't want him for the job either. But mistake or not, he is now the master of the Book and Blade and charged with becoming the Hunter of Lost Souls tracking down escaped dark souls and returning them to their prisons in Hell. But a new type of monster has escaped the underworld. A creature that likes the taste of human souls. A creature so powerful that the Hunter might just become its prey. And it is not working alone. With the help of a young woman cloaked in her own mysteries and a cynical police detective, Christopher must find a way to defeat it before it unleashes its own hell on earth.

Being Hell's bounty hunter was never a job Christopher wanted. Most days he wishes he had never opened the Book and inherited the job of Hunter of Lost Souls. Once a typical college student, he now spends his time hunting down those who have escaped Hell and returning them to their infernal prison. Guess it does beat slinging burgers. His latest hunt will take him from New York to the slums of Mexico. To make matters worse, the dark souls are united and they have a new weapon, a recruit fresh from the underworld. And he's brought a whole army with him.
