Death & Desire - Wilde, Deborah

. .

Résumé :
Angel of Death. Black market magic. When you're Ashira Cohen, smart is the new kickass. When Ash is hired to solve her first murder, it seems like a perfectly normal, open-and-shut case of family feuds and bad blood. Until Ash discovers an evil magical artifact and her lead suspect is of the winged, white-robed, celestial variety. As if that weren't bad enough, if she can't find the perpetrator quickly, fourteen vials of lethal, ghostly magic will be sold to the highest bidder. Her quest to figure out her Jezebel powers and find the shadowy organization responsible for stripping teens of their magic isn't going any smoother, either. Can't a girl just pursue her dream career without getting caught up in a mysterious destiny or playing a dangerous Sherlock-Moriarty game with her annoyingly hot nemesis? But when Ash accidentally crosses the cunning and deadly Queen of Hearts, ruler of the magic black market, all those cases may go unresolved. Permanently. With the clock ticking, it'll take all of Ash's intelligence to survive with her moral center-and her head-intact. The game is afoot and failure is not an option. Readers who love Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels and Hidden Legacy series will adore The Jezebel Files' clever mysteries, razor-sharp banter, and a heroine who outwits as much as she outfights.
