Infernal Affairs (Dirty Money Sorcery)
When a demon banker dies, the city's cleanest sorceress becomes its dirtiest suspect.
Vesper Reed makes a living cleaning up supernatural financial disasters. Cursed money, blood-bound contracts, dangerous assets with inconvenient histories, if it can be stabilized, laundered, or made legally survivable, Vesper can probably bill for it.
Then one of the city's most powerful demon bankers is murdered inside his private vault.
The wards carry Vesper's magical signature. The transaction log names her as the last authorized visitor. And suddenly the woman who makes other people's problems disappear is the problem everyone wants gone.
To clear her name, Vesper must find a missing prime ledger containing enough illicit debt, leverage, and infernal bookkeeping to ruin half the city. Detective Lio Marrow is supposed to investigate her, not trust her. Shapeshifting fixer Pax Calder has information with a price. Crime matriarch Madam Osprey wants the ledger buried. And an infernal auditor is waiting for the books to balance whether anyone survives the reconciliation or not.
The deeper Vesper digs, the clearer it becomes that someone didn't just frame her.
They engineered the perfect financial crime and wrote her name into the evidence.
Now Vesper has to do what she does best: follow the money, read the contracts, and find the lie hidden inside something that looks perfectly clean.
Infernal Affairs is a sharp, darkly funny adult urban fantasy mystery featuring supernatural finance, a morally complicated female lead, a fair-play murder puzzle, slow-burn competence chemistry, and a complete standalone case with no cliffhanger.
