Known in the Bay Area as Bobby Dollar, the Angel Doloriel entered
Hell to rescue his girlfriend Caz the Countess of the Cold Hands trapped there
by her owner Eligor the Horseman. The
good is he escaped Hell; the bad is he failed to liberate his demon girlfriend
(see Happy Hour in Hell); and the ugly is he has no idea what to attempt next.
Bobby’s friend Walter escapes Hell, but suffers
amnesia. His buddy’s memory loss
concerns Bobby because when they met in Hell, Walter was trying to warn him
that Heaven is not a sanctuary. Soon
after their reunion, Bobby faces a not so heavenly judgmental tribunal with his
only chance of surviving being that damned feather he needs to either save his
soul or rescue his beloved.
The third Bobby Dollar
urban fantasy (see The Dirty Streets of Heaven) is a fabulous satire as this time the angel
advocate learns first hand that Heaven and Hell are identical twins when it
comes to incompetence, immorality and intolerance. Sleeping Late On Judgment Day is a tremendous spoof.
