Dante Valentine is a Neuromance and occasional bounty hunter. She opens the door to find a Demon pointing a gun at her and is escorted to Hell where Lucifer assigns her the job of tracking down a demon, retrieving an artifact from him and killing him. She has no problem with that part, since that very Demon had killed a friend of hers. But Demons lie, Lucifer is the Prince of lies, and things go from bad to worse. 
 I like Dante as a character and have mixed feelings about the ending,but I will check out the second in the series
