Joe Pitt’s life sucks. He hasn’t had a case or a job in God knows how long, and his stashes are running on empty. What stashes? The only ones that count to a guy like Joe: blood and money. The
money he uses to buy blood; the blood, he drinks. Hey, it’s that or your neck, buddy.
The only way for him to lay his hands on both is to take a gig with the local Vampyre Clan. See, something new is on the streets, a new high, a high so strong it can send a Vampyre spazzing through
Joe’s local watering hole. Till Joe sends him through a plate-glass window, that is. It won’t be long now before he’s slapping stoolies, getting sapped, and being taken for a ride above 110th
Street. Someone’s pulling Joe’s strings, and he’s gonna cut them when he finds them—the strings and the hands that hold them.

Editorial Reviews
“There are echoes of Raymond Chandler and of Hunter S. Thompson, too. Among the new voices of the twenty-first-century crime fiction, Charlie Huston is where it’s at.” —Washington Post Book World
“Huston’s stylish sophomore outing for hard-boiled vampire detective Joe Pitt maintains the high quality of its predecessor, Already Dead…the doomed love story at the heart of Huston’s action-filled epic is what truly makes this a noir novel, and the undead microcosm of society he creates is both surprisingly relevant and entertaining.” —Publishers Weekly
“[Huston] creates a world that is at once supernatural and totally familiar, imaginative, and utterly convincing.” —Philadelphia Inquirer
Charlie Huston is the bestselling author of The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death; The Shotgun Rule; the Henry Thompson trilogy, which includes the
Edgar Award–nominated Six Bad Things; and the Joe Pitt Casebooks. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, the actress Virginia Louise Smith.
