Twice as Dead

City of Shadows #1 / 2
by Harry Turtledove
Twice as Dead (City of Shadows #1) by Harry Turtledove
Unrated

Even the critics at Publishers Weekly could not resist this dark obsession.

Jack Mitchell is a private investigator with an empty wallet. He lives in a version of Los Angeles where a twenty-foot angel carries passengers up Bunker Hill for a nickel. A blonde woman named Dora walks through his locked office door and changes the math. She offers gold double eagles to find a missing brother. She offers a touch that freezes the marrow.

Jack falls into the depths of Vampire Village and a drug called vepratoga. He finds himself tangled with a woman who claims her kind cannot love. She bites his neck to taste his soul while the city burns. This story is a noir obsession. The lady is eternal. Jack is just a man with a limited heartbeat and a long memory.

The book where Romantasy, Paranormal Noir and Historical Fantasy come together only as a New York Times bestselling author can bring them together.

"I need to find out what my lovers taste like." Dora stood in the dim light. "Do I pass the test?" Jack touched the marks on his neck. "Oh, yes." She leaned closer.
