**AMBYS 2024 WINNER** Get out of jail, get yet another crappy criminal henchman job, get his hotshot lawyer ex-girlfriend back. Oh yeah -- and get a murderous demon exorcised from his head. Jason Torres has his route back from rock-bottom perfectly planned out, right? That is, until he gets catapulted head-first into a police investigation into his ex-employers, the mysterious and deadly Saudi criminal organization, Alcor. The police think they've hit the jackpot by exploiting criminal trash like Jason to take down Alcor, except Jason has conveniently forgotten to mention a few details: his innate ability to attract chaos, his unfortunate possession by a bloodthirsty demon, and the fact that he's falling in love with his handsome new police partner, Dante Russo. And of course, there's Jason's biggest deadliest omission. His relationship with Alcor's sadistic boss is more than strictly professional, and she doesn't like sharing. 🥇 AMBYS 2024 WINNER - ACTION 🥇 First Place Winner, Katana Awards 2023, Action 🥇First Place Winner, Valentine Awards 2023, Action 🥇First Place Winner, Clouded Ink Awards 2022, Action 🥈 Second Place Winner, Aster Awards 2022, Action 🥇 First Place Winner, Hearts Awards 2022, Action
