So its time for Joe to gut up and swallow that pride and follow the leads wherever they go. It wont be long before hes slapping stoolies, getting sapped, and being taken for a ride above 110th Street. Someones pulling Joes strings, and now hes riding the A train, looking to find who it is. Hes gonna cut them when he finds themthe strings and the hands that hold them.

Los Angeles has become the city that never sleeps: an insomnia epidemic is sweeping the town, causing psychosis. As people begin to lose their minds, the line between reality and nightmare blurs. LAPD officer Parker Haas can sleep, but he's wide awake. Going undercover to find the source of Dreamer - the black market drug that gives the afflicted the sleep relief they crave - he is plunged into a dark and restless world. But as he edges closer to the truth, Park must beware the enemies hiding in the shadows. Park's also battling a personal nightmare. His wife has been sleepless for months, and the final phase of the disease - 'the suffering' - is close. Soon, Park must decide what he'll do to save his loved ones, whatever the cost to himself...

A blisteringly powerful thriller set in a Los Angeles ravaged by a plague of sleeplessness.Parker T. Haas is a straight-arrow LAPD cop whose cast-iron sense of right and wrong has made him a lone wolf on the force. But when a plague of sleeplessness attacks Los Angeles and the world beyond, his philosophical certainties are tested to destruction. Sent undercover to pose as a dealer, Haas is on the trail of a black-market drug that is the one thing providing relief to the sleepless - if you can penetrate the arcane code of its mysterious supplier. But as Haas negotiates the increasingly chaotic and dangerous world of a city slowly going mad, he crosses the path of an equally fanatical a-moralist, a hired killer whose extreme sense of aesthetic perfection admits not the slightest humanity. But as their collision course accelerates (two men: one of the old world; one of the newly emerging), Parker must decide not only where the moral centre is located in this frightening new landscape, but also how he is going to save his wife Rose - herself a victim of the disease - and their newborn baby, whose uncertain future is coming into being before their eyes.

They live among us, slaves to the very condition that empowers them. They are the Vampyre, and their sole chance at survival lies in banding into Clans. Only Joe Pitt has gone his own way. The upside is freedom. The downside is theres nobody on his side when trouble comes around. Joe gets rough receptions from all the countless Clans shifting about on the island of Manhattan, but his current trouble is with the Coalition - the Clan that controls the city river to river, from 14th Street to 110th Street. To make things right, Joe takes on his most perilous case: The daughter of a prominent New York family is missing, and her Vampyre fascination makes Joe the ideal man for this high-stakes job.With his ferocious style, Charlie Huston offers a thrilling new twist to one of our oldest myths.

The price tonight is crossing the bridge, rolling to Coney Island, finding the Freak Clan, and figuring out whats driving that bunch of savages to scratch at the Societys door. No need to look far. The answer lies around the corner in Gravesend. Convenient, all those graves.From uptown to the boardwalk, war drums are beating.

Joe Pitts life sucks. He hasnt had a case or a job in God knows how long and his stashes are running on empty. What stashes? The only ones that count to a guy like Joe: blood and money. The money he uses to buy blood; the blood he drinks. Hey, buddy, its that or your neckyou want to choose? The only way to lay his hands on both is to take a gig with the local Vampyre Clan.

Hes gonna cut them when he finds themthe strings and the hands that hold them.

Nobody lives forever. Not even a Vampyre. Just ask Joe Pitt. After exposing the secret source of blood for half of Manhattans Vampyres, hes definitely a dead man walking. Hes been a punching bag and a bullet magnet for every Vampyre Clan in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, not to mention a private eye, an enforcer, an exile, and a vigilante, but now hes just a target with legs. For a year hes sloshed around the subway tunnels and sewers, tapping the veins of the lost, while above ground a Vampyre civil war threatens to drag the Clans into the sunlight once and for all. Whats it gonna take to dig him up? Just the search for a missing girl whos carrying a baby that just might be the destiny of Vampyre-kind. Not that Joe cares all that much about destiny and such. What he cares about is that his ex-girl Evie wants him to take the gig. Whats the risk? Another turn playing pigeon in a shooting gallery. Whats the reward? Maybe one shot of his own. Whats he aiming for? Nothing much. Just all the evil at the heart of his world.

After a year hiding out in the Bronx, Joe Pitt is given an assignment he cant refuse.One Clan needs Joe to inform on another, but hes playing them both while keeping his eye on the main prize: his girl Evie is on the Island somewhere and hell do anything to get her back. And in this case, anything means coming face to face with the horrendous secret that lies beneath the Vampyre world. Its a quest that will drive him to the heart of the two most perplexing mysteries of the Vampyre community: how were the Clans originally formed, and where do the powerful ones get all that blood?The search for the answer takes Joe to a dark corner of Queens, puts him face to face with a mythic and savage Clan, and leaves him in possession of a vision hell never scrape off his retinas - as well as a bargaining chip that redefines his place in the Vampyre universe.

Theres a bad vibe in the air. Every Vampyre in Manhattan feels it in their bones . . . and in their blood. The mother of all gang rumbles is brewing between the divided Clans of the citys undead. A battle royal for more turf that will tear the island from stem to stern. And just his luck, Joe Pitt is smack in the middle of it.A rogue Vampyre who shunned Clan life, Joes his own man. Kind of. Thing is, theres certain people have a claim on his talents. When they need someone whos . . . expendable, they call on Joe Pitt. Theyre calling now. With war drums beating from the Hudson to the Harlem River, Joes been dispatched into the uncharted territory of Brooklyn to seal an alliance with the Freaks - a Clan who more than live up to their name. But across the bridge, things go south with savage swiftness, as Joe gets swept into a murderous family feud between crazed Clans that will paint the borough scarlet from Gravesend to Coney Island.
