This is a short story set in the world of my Hoodoo books (Black Dust Mambo, Black Heart Loa), but you don't need to read the books first in order to enjoy the story. For those of you who have read the books, this story features Devlin Daniels and Gabrielle LaRue in a tale of revenge, cold and brutal.

When Cass Danzinger, a tattoo artist with a rare gift, finds her partner lying on the floor of their New Orleans tattoo shop in a pool of blood, the world as she knows it ends. Alex, her ink-slinging Michelangelo, survives, but ends up in the hospital comatose, perhaps permanently.

Lacking faith in the police and their ability to find whoever shot Alex, Cass puts the word out that she's seeking justice, justice she will willingly pay for.

When a Voodoo mambo offers the services of her mysterious godson, Cass finds herself stepping into a dark, deadly world, one that she may not walk out of again intact.
