SF crossed with noir is a favorite mix of mine. I picked it up in part because of the cover art. I kept it at the top of my reading pile because of the web site (http://the-electric-church.com/). I felt it lived up to the hype. One detail I particularly enjoyed was his fragmented chapter titles. I look forward to more from Jeff Somers.

Shades of Blade Runner. A dash of noir. Not a bad effort Mr.Somers.
