She’s a ghostly assassin. He’s a sharp-eyed Brit who can melt minds. When something goes amiss in the magical underworld, can they unravel a murderous puzzle before all hell breaks loose?
Adina Venture keeps her banter brisk, and her emotions hidden. Maintaining a careful barrier between herself and anyone she cares about, she stalks the lonely Las Vegas nights as a supernatural killer-for-hire. Her signature? Making her jobs look like bizarre accidents—or “misadventures,” as they are often called in the official death reports.
When an organization known for its brutal justice accuses her of slaying one of their own, little Miss Adventure knows she’s in big trouble, and the only way out of it is to prove she’s not guilty. There’s just one problem: Until they’re sure she’s not a killer (at least, not the one they’re looking for), she will be magically bound to Chief Inquisitor Levi Breitling, an unforgiving and unceremonious investigator who’s sure of her guilt. If she can’t convince him she’s innocent, he’ll verify it himself—by digging into her head and ripping out her memories one by one.
In the struggle to clear her name, the unlikely pair uncover clues that suggest the murder was part of a much bigger, potentially Armageddon-level plot. Now, the fate of Sin City hangs on whether Adina and Inquisitor Breitling can find the true culprit before a deadlier monster awakens. And the longer it takes to track down the killer, the tighter the chain between them seems to grow…
