After a slow start, this volume contains 3 brilliant arcs - one that implies the current king of England is eating people in the street (and puts his little brother in BDSM gear), one where dear old Chas gets in on the action to stop some body-snatchers, and the return and expansion of my personal favourite new face from Dangerous Habits, the very polite, very demonic 'Ellie'. The First of the Fallen is growing impatient and wishes to use her to get to Constantine, but that only inspires our intrepid anti-hero. Left me looking forward to seeing if Ennis can top the stroke-of-genius deal that saved Constantine's arse last time.
