Bad Paperwork

Urban Fantasy – Legal Thriller – Dark Satire

Daniel Thompson made a career out of winning dirty cases on technicalities. Then he signed a contract with Hell.

Now dead and trapped in the Infernal Courts, Chicago's most ruthless corporate lawyer has been reassigned as a public defender—and his first client is facing eternal damnation over a soul contract riddled with bad paperwork.

To survive, Daniel must outmaneuver Rebecca Spencer, Hell's undefeated prosecutor, and expose the financial empire of Archduke Belial, where souls are securitized, debts are weaponized, and bureaucracy is the most terrifying monster of all.

But every loophole comes with a price. As Daniel and Rebecca uncover forged contracts, fraudulent soul liens, hidden ledgers, and a conspiracy reaching from Chicago to the deepest circles of Hell, their professional rivalry becomes something far more dangerous.

Sharp, darkly funny, and relentlessly inventive, BAD PAPERWORK is an urban fantasy legal thriller blending supernatural intrigue, courtroom suspense, demonic bureaucracy, corporate satire, and slow-burn romance.

Because in Hell, justice may be eternal—but paperwork is forever.
