Graveyard Shift: A Novel

Police procedurals go supernatural in this debut novel. "Gritty urban fantasy and hard-boiled noir packed into a hand grenade of awesome!" ―Mario Acevedo, national bestselling author Alex Menkaure once ruled as pharaoh. Marcus once lived in the time of Caesar. Now, mummy and vampire are partners in a special police unit, fighting to keep the streets safe from both supernatural criminals and anti-vampire vigilantes. When someone starts poisoning the artificial blood used by vampires, relations between vampires and humans deteriorate to the brink of anarchy. While the city threatens to tear itself apart, Alex and Marcus must form an unnatural alliance with a vigilante gang and a shape-shifter woman in a desperate battle against an ancient conspiracy. If they succeed, they'll be pariahs, hunted by everyone. If they fail, the result will be a war bloodier than any the world has ever seen. "The action is gritty, cinematic, and unrelenting . . . Fans of urban fantasy, noir, and tightly choreographed action scenes will enjoy the blood and bullets in this adrenaline-heavy ride through crime scenes and secret societies." ― Kirkus Reviews "Fans of Jim Butcher will enjoy a fresh take on this supernatural crime novel that puts its own spin on the genre.
