This is the third humorous dark fantasy thriller starring Rachel Hunter, witch and bounty hunter. In the previous book, THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UNDEAD, Rachel was pitted against powerful vampire/master criminal Piscary, responsible for killing several of Cincinnati's witches. Confronting him forced her to seek the help of the demon Algaliarept. Unfortunately, demon assistance never comes free, and now it's time for Rachel to pay her bill.

There's no witch in Cincinnati tougher, sexier, or more screwed up than bounty hunter Rachel Morgan, who's already put her love life and her soul in dire jeopardy through her determined efforts to bring criminal night creatures to justice.

Between "runs," she has her hands full fending off the attentions of her blood-drinking partner, keeping a deadly secret from her backup, and resistinga hot new vamp suitor.

Rachel must also take a stand in the war that's raging in the city's underworld, since she helped put away its former vampire kingpin -- and made a deal with a powerful demon to do so that could cost her an eternity of pain, torment, and degradation.

And now her dark "master" is coming to collect his due.
