Getting stalked by the devil was normal, finding the killer of a mobster was not.

Estephanie Carmel-Baumer Xiu wants two things: her life's purpose and a job. Problem is she has no idea how to go about the former, and after moving to Asphodel City, the latter is proving difficult to attain. Enter dearly departed La Patrona, a once notorious mob boss with a deadly reputation and an even deadlier request: find La Patrona's killer in exchange for a hundred thousand dollars in cash.

Broke and desperate, Phani accepts.

What she did not anticipate was being introduced to the city's gritty underworld, eccentric characters, and a destined old flame. Mysterious grim reapers stalking her from afar she can handle. Everything else? Hell no! Unfortunately for Phani, the longer the killer remains free the more she stands to lose than just the reward money. Will Phani be successful in her mission or will she catch a bullet in the head instead?
