When detective for hire, Ashira Cohen, was 13, her con artist father disappeared, leaving her with emotional scars and a limp she can't hide. But she toughened up, determined never to be played again. Is history repeating itself?

First, she's hit on the head during a stakeout, revealing a mysterious tattoo on the back of her skull. Even worse? It's a now-broken ward unleashing dangerous magic that as a Mundane, she shouldn't possess. 

Her unruly powers nearly kill her long-time nemesis, Levi, the uptight leader of the magic community. One word from him about her forbidden abilities, and everything she's built will be taken from her… by force.

The only bright spot is that Levi requires her supernatural skills, providing Ash's chance at payback and she's going to enjoy every second of it.

The Jezebel Files

"I need to find out what type of magic is on an artifact, but it's a bit of a tricky situation because it has an adverse effect on people who get too close. Can you do it?" 


Freddo was a Typecaster, with the ability to identify magic. Houses kept them on staff to verify magic types and strengths, but any good fence hoping to trade in magic artifacts honed that ability as well. I could have asked Levi to borrow his, but he wasn't in the clear yet, so I was forced to analyze the feather the more expensive way. Why couldn't he have given me some ironclad alibi and been done with it? 


Freddo scratched his stubbled chin. "Five hundred." 


I winced. That was more than I'd anticipated and I hadn't discussed expenses with the Tannous family. "Three hundred. Friends and family discount." 


"Three hundred," he agreed. "Plus another two for danger pay. A read like that'll knock me out of commission for a couple days. Man's gotta make a living."
