Product Description
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, buddy, it’s that or your neck–you want to choose? The only way 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.
So it’s time for Joe to gut up and swallow that pride and follow the leads wherever they go. It won’t be long before he’s slapping stoolies, getting sapped, and being taken for a ride above 110th Street. Someone’s pulling Joe’s strings, and now he’s riding the A train, looking to find who it is. He’s gonna cut them when he finds them–the strings and the hands that hold them.

This is my 5th Charlie Huston book. So far this author can do no wrong.

Huston does it again, with his gritty hardboiled writing style, and a fight to the very end. Taking you on a journey with the anti-hero smart mouthed, tough guy, Joe Pitt, through parts of Manhattan, he knows not to be caught in. The book pulled me in from start to finish, as an insight into the world of vampyres, violence, and the seedy new drug, that turn the day into night.

For much of the story, Pitt is a game piece moved all over NY. Where is the rebel? Politics is the game and the clans are masters. Maybe Pitt comes into his own in the next chapter. This seemed like a lot of info with little action.

i think charlie huston along with david wellington are the new bright stars of vampire and zombie novels. lets kick the likes charlene harris, laura hamilton, and stephanie meyer and thier craptacular girlish nonsense to the curb. huston and wellington write vampire stories that can kick some butt.
if you're guy and wanna read about vampires get charlie huston. if yer a girl, well, go join team edward or jacob would ya please

The hardboiled vampire troubleshooter for hire Joe Pitt is back. The various local competing vampire organisations are still not nice. They are reasonably in agreement that a drug made from new vampire blood and that is highly addictive is a bad thing, or at least a bad thing publicly. Joe, likewise is not a fan. Some fangers are going to burn for being involved.
3.5 out of 5
