Shot in the head. Staked through the heart. The constant perils that challenge a zombie or vampire can make life miserable. Such an exhausting existence implodes when you're cured and trying to re-invent yourself into mainstream society. Private Investigator Sam Frome is anachronistic, bitter, misogynistic, ex-zombie. When a lie causes his best friend to put a hit on him, Sam finds himself saddled with an abrasive ex-vampire partner who demands his respect and the case of a lifetime. Dwelling in a city where most of the citizens are either recovering vampires or zombies, Sam and his new partner must navigate a maze of Mafioso, black budget government agencies, and corrupt politicians to save not only themselves, but the city from certain annihilation.
