“My name is a warning; I curse my mother for the first half and my father for the rest of it.“
Marlowe isn’t just another vixie or chimera. Chased by The Devil, also known as necessity, and everything else in the way of closing a case, it’s hard to blame her for what she does to survive. That reputation and the trouble attached has made her valuable.
Her latest should have been a bit of sneaking to calm her client’s fears. Simple cases aren’t.
Why had Boss Jones put his men on her tail again? Why had her old friend, Richard Grant, woken her in the middle of the night? Marlowe has enough tangled problems in her path, including her client’s growing infatuation with her. Easy.
Waiting beyond all of that is a massive city-within-a-city named The Warren. Marlowe’s not the only one trying to get inside.
The best sweetheart deals and secrets are never what they appear to be. Marlowe’s race across the city of Nuevo Carcangel goes high and low, but is she fast enough to make a deal for her life?
The Devil is hungry.
