Publisher Description

On the run and out of time... Everything changed back in Crescent City when Crowley made his choice to stand up to his angelic handler Shargrafein. It was either her or Rosa, and the choice was clear. Now, there's no going back.

Something about Rosa has everyone scrambling—a hidden power. It's up to Crowley to bring her back to the land of the living, and discover exactly what she is. Only then might they have a chance against the forces of Heaven and Hell, both of whom want her for their own devices.

So what if that makes him a traitor to the White Throne? They kept the truth about her from him. Made him a pawn in their endless war.

But those above and below aren't the only ones after Crowley and Rosa. An old rival has resurfaced and he's out for vengeance, no matter what it takes.

If they hope to evade capture, Crowley will need to trust old friends and allies. And trust doesn't come easy to a man shot to death by his own boss.

The Black Badge series concludes with a culmination of supernatural powers and old foes in an epic finale stretching from the wild west to the nation's capital!

My stories, for the most part, are drenched in humor of some sort or another, but none of them are comedies. I think laughing is a natural part of life, and even in the direst of situations, gallows humor finds its place.
