TWO MILLION DOLLARS...
It’s the kind of score Karyn Ames has always dreamed of—enough to set her crew up pretty well and, more important, enough to keep her safely stocked on a very rare, very expensive black market drug. Without it, Karyn hallucinates slices of the future until they totally overwhelm her, leaving her unable to distinguish the present from the mess of certainties and possibilities yet to come.
The client behind the heist is Enoch Sobell, a notorious crime lord with a reputation for being ruthless and exacting—and a purported practitioner of dark magic. Sobell is almost certainly condemned to Hell for a magically extended lifetime full of shady dealings. Once you’re in business with him, there’s no backing out.
Karyn and her associates are used to the supernatural and the occult, but their target is more than just the usual family heirloom or cursed necklace. It’s a piece of something larger. Something sinister.
Karyn’s crew and even Sobell himself are about to find out just how powerful it is… and how powerful it may yet become.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The theft of a rhinoceros penis connects four Angeleno crooks psychic Karyn Ames, street tough Anna Ruiz, eager young fortune-teller Tommy, and ex-military gunman Nail to haughty, ultra-wealthy magus Enoch Sobell in this promising urban fantasy series launch. Sobell commissions the quartet to grab a jawbone from occult adept Nathan Mendelsohn, and assigns magician Genevieve Lyle to tag along. Ruiz soon develops a romantic connection with Lyle that threatens to undermine Ames and Ruiz's longtime friendship and the integrity of the team. This interpersonal struggle adds a subplot to the violent struggle between Soboll's lackeys and Mendelsohn's Brotherhood of Zagam, which gets muddied when loyal Sobell lieutenant Joe Gresser unexpectedly goes on the lam with the jawbone and the god it summons. Meanwhile, Ames is jonesing hard for a drug that helps control her increasingly bizarre visions. In the contest for magical power, group turns against group and treachery is rampant. The development of the three women's relationships will keep readers coming back to this gritty series.
