Retribution

In the underworld, there are tricks to killing.

Like executing rivals at crossroads so ghosts won't follow you home. But sometimes retribution is hard to avoid—and now a supernatural hit man has a contract on Domino Riley's life. Luckily she knows a thing or two about death….

His name is Samael, an ancient entity claiming to be the biblical Angel of Death, and he has given Shanar Rashan's top enforcer exactly three days until the full moon to settle her affairs.

Staying alive means trading favors with a bad-tempered jinn bound inside a portable television, outsmarting an LAPD detective who can sense magic, and keeping her boss's criminal empire from bleeding out in the streets.

To make matters worse, an ambitious mob lieutenant is staging a bloody mutiny behind her back, threatening to plunge the supernatural syndicate into an all-out turf war.
