Synopsis
Saint City Sinners brings Dante Valentine, the necromancer bounty hunter turned demon hybrid, back to her old hometown of Saint City after her best friend Gabby reaches out in serious, unexplained trouble. Agreeing to help track down a killer targeting people close to Gabby, Dante finds herself juggling the investigation alongside her ongoing, unfinished business as the Devil's Right Hand, a role that keeps pulling her attention away from the case even as the stakes climb. As the hunt for the killer draws her into contact with drug dealers, mob enforcers, and corrupt officers on Saint City's streets, Dante is repeatedly forced into hiding and then into open fighting for her life, determined to see justice done for the friends and allies the killer has already claimed.
