In the Badlands, you keep your enemies close and the monsters closer. Welcome to the Badlands Paranormal Police Department, where Chief Ezekias ‘Zeke’ Phoenix, a dragon who believes rules are meant to be followed, has accepted his new post. His job is simple: keep the fragile peace between dragons, hellions, and the denizens of hell. The rules in Infernal City are even simpler: mind your business, watch your back, shoot first, and don’t bother asking questions. When a dead hellion crashes into his life, Zeke and the Badlands PPD will break all the rules of the City. To find the killer, he’s going to make some powerful enemies who would prefer to see the new dragon chief of the PPD retired…permanently. If Zeke fails, the Badlands will plunge into a civil war. If he succeeds, he places a target on his back, and his enemies rarely miss. Will Zeke risk setting off the powder keg of Infernal City? Will he find the killer and bring him to justice before the Badlands becomes a wasteland? Or will they give him an early retirement package…sudden death? If you like Jim Butcher, Domino Finn, Michael Anderle, M. D. Massey, Rick Gualtieri, Eric Quinn Knowles, Noah K. Sturdevant, Ben Zackheim, K.F. Breene, Shayne Silvers, Ilona Andrews, Brad Magnarella, Patricia Briggs, or Kim Harrison...you'll have a blast with this book in the Badlands Paranormal Police Department.

What do you call an unarmed PPD officer in the middle of the Badlands? A victim.Chief Zeke Phoenix survived his funeral party... barely. Now survival turns into mayhem management as he works to turn his team's begrudging respect into a force that'll keep the Badlands in check. When an unmarked package hits his desk, mayhem turns to chaos. The package's contents trigger a chain of events, leaving the only true law of the land understaffed, unarmed, and under attack. They're one major assault away from being wiped out. But Zeke Phoenix isn't about to let that happen. Needing a new batch of weapons-and fast-Zeke leads his crew across the wasteland. Forced to join with assassin hellions, they battle a constant barrage of villainy. If that wasn't bad enough, Zeke's little brother is along for the ride. The question is whether Babysitter Zeke and the Badlands PPD can survive this road trip before they crash and burn.

In order to uphold the law—he's going to need to break a few. After returning from crossing the Badlands on a weapons run, Chief Zeke Phoenix of the Paranormal Police Department finds his precinct taken over by The Company, Rake Masters, and a ton of corruption. Masters exploits Zeke's biggest flaw, his honorability. A plan is set to exterminate Zeke Phoenix and every member of his team...with extreme pain. To start, the fake PPD brands the real PPD as criminals, telling everyone in Infernal City to take them down. That ties Zeke's hands, forcing him to beat Masters at his own game. In other words, in order to do the right thing, Zeke has to do plenty of wrong. He must dive into the criminal element and create his own gang, setting himself up to embrace a life of crime. But will it ever get that far? With luck, no, but Zeke is beginning to learn that sometimes honor and duty don't go hand in hand. If Zeke and his crew don't pull this off, The Company will have complete control of Infernal City, Masters will wield an unfathomable amount of power, and every member of the Badlands PPD will be left gazing lifelessly at the sky. Crime. Corruption. Chaos. A regular day in the life of a PPD chief in the Badlands...

The dragon is learning... Chief Zeke Phoenix of the Paranormal Police Department is rebuilding the precinct and taking over Infernal City, but he knows war is just around the corner. Masters was put on his heels, but he's no fool and he's got plenty of contacts. Francis from The Morgue, for one. In other words, Masters has an army of zombies at his fingertips. These aren't the slow type of zombies, either. They're the kind that rip and shred. Worse, they're coming after Hilda and the Highland Valkyries. After that, the PPD precinct will be under siege again. There's also a secret that holds the potential to split the thin layer of stability in the Badlands. As if that wasn't bad enough, Zeke is wrestling to control the dragon he's recently unleashed. Power. Persuasion. Pain. The Badlands just became an even darker place...

The dragon has taken the throne... \\\ INCLUDES BONUS SHORT STORY: Silk's Shitheads \\\ If there's one thing the Badlands cannot tolerate, it's a dragon king. They're vicious, single-minded, and love inflicting pain. Chief Zeke Phoenix of the Paranormal Police Department is fighting every day to avoid being consumed by his royal blood. Little by little, he's losing the fight. Rake Masters understands that if he can kill Phoenix, ancient magic will transfer the royalty to him. Masters will no longer be a large player in Infernal City and a small player in the land of the dragons. He'll own it all, and he'll crush those who spat on his family name. That puts Infernal City in the heart of war. The two sides build their positions and prepare for bloodshed that's to come. The full bore of the PPD, the amassed gangs on both sides, hellions, goblins, valkyries, a pixie brigade, a single troll, and the land of dragons will square off to see who truly owns the Badlands. Danger. Deceit. Death. Zeke Phoenix is the only person who can end it, and he's the most dangerous of them all...
