Idle Hands

Jackson Grey, PhD did everything right and she's on the verge of a breakthrough in cancer treatment when corporate conspiracy takes it all—her career, her research, her colleagues. Callous profiteers have twisted her cure into a weapon, erasing her future and dooming countless others. Desperate, furious, and alienated on the streets of Philly, Jax makes a deal with an elusive new ally—a supernatural anarchist who says he's the Devil. With growing infernal powers, formidable wits, relentless will, and a custom machine gun, Jax will do whatever it takes to dismantle the engines of her misery and punish the shadowy men who profit from them. 

Dr. Grey's world is our own, but in Idle Hands, Jones tells a story where pride and pleasure are celebrated. Violence is an answer. And resistance isn't stoic or pretty—it's loud, raw, and unapologetic. This is a neo-noir fantasy where rage is power and the monster that goes bump in the night is a woman with nothing to lose.
