Description
A hundred thousand to fight. Twice that, if you win. Walking up to Nick at the underground vampire fights, the well-dressed promoter hands Nick a card, offering him a bucket of cash for a few hours' work. All he has to do is fight another vampire. All he has to do is put on a good show for screaming, cheering, bloodthirsty, fight fans. If Nick can pull it off, he might also have a lead on a big new case. Someone in the boxing circuit is murdering vampires, selling their parts on the black market, dumping their desiccated bodies outside the city dome. The NYPD doesn't have a clue who's behind it, and the lead detective wants Nick to use his new in to get inside the exclusive fight community. Of course, Nick's new hybrid girlfriend, Wynter James, hates everything about this plan. Nick's not even supposed to be there; he's still officially suspended from his last big screw-up with the racial authorities. He decides to risk it anyway, determined to catch the killers, and by the end of the first match, half the underground boxing community knows who he is. Unfortunately, the vampire-harvesting crew has their eye on Nick, too. Wynter is furious, and worried, and half-ready to walk... but then, she's pretty convinced Nick has a death wish. At the very least, she suspects he'd do just about anything to avoid the intense, volcanic, vampire emotions that come up in him, whenever they're together. Nick tries to tell her it's just the job, but he knows that's a lie. The problem is, he's falling in love, and as much as he hates to admit it, some part of him would rather be ripped apart by psychotic vamp-murderers than risk that pain again.VAMPIRE DETECTIVE MIDNIGHT is a gritty, romantic new series set in a futuristic, dystopian New York populated by vampires, humans and psychics trying to rebuild their world after a devastating race war nearly obliterates the previous one.
