Working for the Devil opens Lilith Saintcrow's Dante Valentine series with Dante, a necromancer-for-hire who reluctantly takes a job from the Devil himself: kill a rogue demon, Vardimal Santino, in exchange for her life. The catch is that Santino isn't something that dies easily, and the job pulls Dante deeper into a world of demons and bargains than she planned for. Saintcrow continues the series through Dead Man Rising, The Devil's Right Hand, Saint City Sinners, and To Hell and Back.
