Bobby is a hard boiled detective and advocate (lawyer). He drinks too much, fights too much, has too much sex and

is in love with the femme fatale

, all the type of stuff you would expect from a noir detective novel. Tad Williams does a good job writing noir urban fantasy detective novel but the idea that Bobby was angel in the endless battle between Heaven and Hell was a bridge to far for me.
