Dead Witch Walking

Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison
Rachel Morgan's career is at a standstill. She's been given the jobs with the least amount of responsibility and even then every assignment has some problem. She is considering leaving her position, but no one gets out of the I.S. without a price on their head. When Rachel catches her latest criminal, a leprechaun who is accused of fabricating a rainbow for illegal gain, the leprechaun offers her a chance at three wishes. Rachel teams up with a vampire, Ivy and a Pixy, Jenks to try their luck at running their own business. But, Rachel must first find a way to pay off the price on her head before the I.S. kills her. She decides to find the "Brimstone" drug lord and turn him over to the I.S.. What she finds is more than she bargained for.
