After exposing the secret source of blood for half of Manhattan's Vampyres, private eye Joe Pitt is definitely a dead man walking. For a year he's sloshed around the subway tunnels and sewers, tapping the veins of the lost, while above ground a Vampyre civil war threatens to drag the Clans into the sunlight once and for all. What's it gonna take to dig him up? Just the search for a missing girl who's carrying a baby that just might be the destiny of Vampyre-kind.
Not that Joe cares all that much about destiny and such. What he cares about is that his ex-girl Evie wants him to take the gig. What's the risk? Another turn playing pigeon in a shooting gallery. What's the reward? Maybe one shot of his own. What's he aiming for? Nothing much. Just all the evil at the heart of his world.

Critic reviews
"[Huston] creates a world that is at once supernatural and totally familiar, imaginative, and utterly convincing." ( Philadelphia Inquirer)

Take "Marv" from Sin City and make him a vampire in a pulp-noir NYC setting. How can you go wrong?
The writing style of the author takes a little getting used to initially, but soon you will think it is absolutely perfect and couldn't imagine it being otherwise. Specifically, the author doesn't use quotation marks and doesn't go out of his way to use "he said/she said"; you sorta gotta figure it out. But, like I said, it becomes PERFECT.
I loved this book so much that, after reading it twice, I went and joined Audible so I could get the whole series (5 books) as audiobooks. And, even though I am a cheap S.O.B., it was the best decision I have ever made (other than marrying my wife). Scott Brick is the reader of the audiobooks and is absolutely perfect. I could rave on and on about how good the audiobooks are but I hope you get the point.
The books are fantastic, over-the-top pulp noir detective stories so don't be put off by the "vampire" moniker. I promise you won't regret it. Joe Pitt, the anti-hero, is IMHO the best character ever written. I mean that. If you can think of one better, holler. Dexter may be a distant second but I can't think of anyone else even close...
The BEST audiobook I have!

I think the first review nails it, it's the same high quality in and of itself, BUT messes up the flow
At first I thought the author was going for a different "backstory" approach and was waiting for it to fill in and listened to enough to say
1) it's consistent with the other books in terms of quality
both by Huston and by the reader Brick
2) You'll get overall plot arc spoilers which is a drag
CAUTION! - PLEASE READ BEFORE LISTENING

Hopefully more people will ask for the rest of the series. I love the Twilight books (I know, I know all the boys reading this are going "EW!") but I also love the classic horror vampire of Necroscope, Vampire$, 'Salem's Lot, and The Strain. This series has what Butcher's Harry Dresden series has, good horror/fantasy with an ass-kicking but everyday guy kind of hero.
More Pitt Please!

Overall, I guess I enjoyed it. Scott Brick was his usual self - thoroughly over-dramatized, but good narration. There is some violence, probably some swearing, no sex.
The break did me good...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I've listened to all of the book & I've enjoyed each one and especially the last book. The only thing I would say that I don't care for is the speaking parts of the "Black" characters. I've been Black for about 43 years & I have yet to encounter any other Black folks that speak like the Black portrayed in the books...EVER. I'd gladly recommend the books to others most certainly, but as I was listening I just kept saying to myself that there was no way possible that ANY Black, African American or persons closely associated with those mentioned people were consulted about the speech patterns used in the stories.Who was your favorite character and why?
Joe would be at the top of my favorite character list followed by Esperanza, Hurley, Chubby Freeze (love the name) and Mrs. Vandewater.Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favorite?
Dexter Predo.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A hard days night.Any additional comments?
Other than the deplorable accents of the Black people the books were great.Black guy beef.
