\\nAbout ALL SOULS LOST: After two years trying to run away from his past, Mike Lucifer\\u2019s back in his office less than ten minutes when a persistent young woman shows up asking for help: her boyfriend\\u2019s been possessed by a demon.
\\nThat\\u2019s exactly the kind of mess that drove him from his hometown of Boston to a sunny beach\\u2014and the bottom of a bottle\\u2014in the first place. But there are some problems that even booze can\\u2019t drown, and while Lucifer may be no hero, his dwindling bank account provides a thousand reasons to take the case.
\\nNo sooner is he back in the game then the complications and corpses start to add up. The boyfriend\\u2019s not possessed\\u2014he\\u2019s dead. The tech company where he worked is looking shadier by the second. And Lucifer\\u2019s client definitely knows more than she should\\u2026about everything. The deeper Lucifer digs, the more he wonders if whatever sinister entity lurks behind this case wants him to be the last to die…
