Down on her luck, former-Pinkerton and recovering death mage, Mick Kelly sure isn't looking for trouble.
But in 1880 Trinidad, Colorado trouble finds her in the form of Edison Colt, rookie agent for the Bureau of Magical Investigations. He's promising cash in exchange for exposing supernatural wrongdoings in Las Vegas, New Mexico.
Widowed, broke, her livestock wasting away, Mick's tempted by the money, and maybe by the chance to shake up her tired existence.
But Las Vegas is a town on the edge—women are dying, their magic stripped. Someone's playing a long, dark game, reeking of bad magic that could devour the entire West. And when Mick starts asking questions, her blood-soaked past comes calling. To stop it, she'll have to face the consequences of her violent history and the power she swore never to use again.
Ride with Mick Kelly—a complicated woman with a violent past and dangerous magic—into a dark historical fantasy steeped in arcane power and haunted Americana, where the dead don't rest and magic always collects its due. Read Bad Magic and Whiskey today.
