Flavoring the hard-boiled detective story with a taste of the supernatural, this is the first book in the highly entertaining Vampire Files series.

Before you know it, I'm being chased by an ugly thug with a gun, and a bullet blasts its way through my back, and-believe it or not-nothing happened. I survived How? You guessed it. I, Jack Fleming, ace reporter, have been transformed into a vampire.

Which has its advantages. You never die, you never grow old, you sleep all day...and best of all, you can hunt down your own murderer.
