COPY ISBN
It’s Halloween month in Tabula Ra$a, the futuristic, (mostly) lawless city in the Utah desert, and Zoey Ashe is still adjusting to being in charge of the vast criminal empire created and left to her by her estranged mobster father, Arthur Livingston.

Everyone in Tabula Ra$a is gunning for Zoey, and she and the Suits have to solve a murder—and keep her alive—before the revolutionary group Blowback causes the city to descend into chaos.
