[Vampire Detective Midnight 01] • Vampire Detective Midnight

Vampire with a past and homicide detective, Naoko "Nick" Tanaka just got transferred to the NYPD, where he works as a "Midnight," or vampire in the employ of the human police. Like all state-registered vamps, he gets his food delivered to his door, lives in government housing, and basically can't sneeze without the U.S. government knowing about it.

Still, he's determined to play by the rules. More than anything, he just wants to be left alone, to finish out his immortality in peace... but he's barely there two weeks when things already start to go sideways.

It starts with a weird case involving inexplicable paintings that predict murders before they happen.

Between his mystery painter, a bunch of dead hybrid-humans, a conspiracy involving the richest families in New York, and a school principal who has an unsettling effect on him, Nick finds he can't get personally uninvolved with any of it.

Instead, he gets sucked in even deeper, until he's pretty sure he'll end up forcibly reprogrammed by his human masters -- assuming they don't just rip his heart out of his chest and be done with it.

VAMPIRE DETECTIVE MIDNIGHT is book #1 of a gritty, romantic new series set in a futuristic, dystopian New York, involving vampires, humans and psychics trying to rebuild their world after a devastating race war that nearly obliterated all of them.
