And Jack Mitchell just ran out of bourbon. “Sympathetic but unsentimental... a sharp-edged urban fantasy.” — Publishers Weekly Jack Mitchell is a private eye hanging on by a thread in a city that always stays awake—mostly because half the population is undead.

Los Angeles, 1949. The smog burns your eyes. The vampires own the night. And Jack Mitchell just ran out of bourbon. “Sympathetic but unsentimental... a sharp-edged urban fantasy.” — Publishers Weekly Jack Mitchell is a private eye hanging on by a thread in a city that always stays awake—mostly because half the population is undead. He’s a combat vet who knows that in L.A., the color of your skin does not really matter, but the temperature of your blood can matter a whole lot. Jack’s business model is simple: he solves problems for people who can’t go to the cops. But when Dora Urban walks into his office, the rules change. Dora is stunning, wealthy, and aristocratic. She’s also a vampire who hasn’t breathed in centuries. She wants Jack to find her missing half-brother, Rudolf, paying in heavy gold coins for his troubles. It sounds like a standard missing persons case, until Jack starts kicking over rocks. What crawls out isn't just a missing vampire. It's a nightmarish mystery that goes from the gutters of Vampire Village to the boardrooms of US Rubber: * The Drug: A strange substance called "vepratoga" that the undead are desperate to find. * The Labor: A factory guarded by Assyrian gods where the workers aren't just tired—they're legally dead zombies. * The Law: A police force so corrupt they charge extra for protection against sorcery. Jack Mitchell is about to find out that in a city of ghosts, ghouls, and grifters, the scariest monster is still the one signing the paychecks. From New York Times Bestselling Author Harry Turtledove comes a hard-boiled noir where the shadows bite back.
