This story takes place in Hell but it is a sort of post-apocalyptic version of Hell. There is no longer punishments for the sins of the residents other than just surviving in a demon run world of darkness and danger. The human residents have no knowledge of what they did to send them to their infinite dark and disgusting existence. Their only hope is to be one of the random few chosen by the visiting angels to be released into heaven. Thomas Fool is an information officer, i.e. an investigator of deaths. Most deaths are not investigated, only the few "special cases" warrant the services of Fool and his team. A series of gory deaths of "Genevieves" aka male prostitutes. The story is different and grotesque. I admit I probably would not have gotten past the first few chapters had I been reading the physical book. However, the audiobook narration by David Rintoul was excellent and kept me engaged.
