Good And Dead by Jane Langton

Good And Dead by Jane Langton

In New Hell, only the monsters survive.

Eden Alvaro is a licensed Vulture, picking through the aftermath of violence in demon-plagued LA, and fencing her finds to help support her family. But when a crooked cop reports her for a salvage she didn't take, all hell breaks loose.

Stripped of her license, Eden finds herself with a price on her head. When the mercenaries hunting her raid her home, brutalize her family and abduct one of her sisters, Eden turns to the enigmatic Bishop-a man with a reputation for violence who, for the right price, can find just about anything or anyone.

With time running out to find her sister before she's sold into slavery, Eden is determined to get her back-even if she has to slaughter her way through a gang affiliated with the traffickers and face down one of the powerful demons in control of the city.

She'll need every bit of her burgeoning magical powers to bring her sister back alive-and she'll need to put herself in debt to Bishop. But when it comes to her family, no price is too high for Eden to pay.
