[Vampire Detective Midnight 03] • The Prescient

A bomb detonates in a landmark building in downtown New York, killing one of the richest and most controversial men in the city. Nick has no real leads apart from the dead man himself, and the dead man’s partner, the city’s star designer and architect, an eccentric vampire named Straven.

When Straven takes a personal interest in Nick, one that seems to go beyond his status as a Midnight, or his newfound fame on the underground boxing circuit, the NYPD encourages Nick to play along for the sake of the case. Nick gets drawn into a world of extravagant parties with some of the biggest power brokers among the city’s elite, learning more about the complex relationship between humans and vampires than he ever wanted to know.

In the process, what starts off as a simple case of a robbery gone bad, soon begins to look like something a lot worse… and with much more far-reaching consequences.

It also brings Nick far too close to the life he thought he’d left behind, as a lieutenant in the White Death, the vampire criminal underground.
