Book Description
Nick frowned, staring around at the alley floor. It hit him again. There was something wrong with this blood. It smelled too good. It smelled way, way too good... 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-reg'd 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. More than anything, he just wants to be left alone, to endure his immortality in peace, but he's barely in New York two weeks when things start to go sideways. It all starts with his new case--a case involving dead hybrids, graffiti that tells the future, a kid who shouldn't exist at all, and a possible conspiracy involving the richest humans in New York. That doesn't even get into the school principal, a woman with secrets of her own, who has a deeply 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 owners--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 populated by vampires, humans and psychics trying to rebuild their world after a devastating race war nearly obliterates the previous one. A spinoff of the Quentin Black Mystery series, it features vampire with a past and homicide detective, Naoko "Nick" Tanaka, who gets transferred to the NYPD after a bad incident in Los Angeles forces him to start a new life. Nick works as a "Midnight," or vampire in the employ of the human police department, but when he arrives in New York, he really just wants to be left alone to work, surf, and deal with his immortality in peace. Life, and the residents of New York, clearly have other ideas.

Book Description
"Sue Ann Jaffarian never fails to make me chuckle with her three mystery series starring paralegal Odelia Grey, ghost Granny Apples, and now Murder in Vein, starring friendly, and not-so-friendly, neighborhood vampires."—Joanne Fluke, New York Times bestselling author of the Hannah Swensen Mysteries The sight of the blood covered fangs exploded from her deep memory like a ball through a plate glass window. The man had bitten Bobby, torn into him like a barbequed rib on the Fourth of July. Vampires.Vam-pires. Real live—er, dead (undead?)—bloodsucking vampires, living in the City of Angels. Madison Rose, a street-smart twenty-something waitress would never have believed it—until a vampire thwarts a vicious attack against her by appearing in the nick of time and finishing off her assailant in one tasty bite. Madison has been saved by the vampires—or has she? She learns that women have been going missing; their lifeless bodies turning up drained of blood. Now the murderer is after her. As the violence escalates, Madison, LAPD Detective Notchey, and a cadre of alluring and dangerous vampires search for the true killer—while Madison keeps a wary eye on the skittish and thirsty vampires. Will she survive to see the light of day? Praise: "Like Stuart Kaminsky, Jaffarian juggles her franchises deftly, giving each a unique voice and appeal. Her latest series kickoff may be her best yet, blending supernatural sexy with down-to-earth sassy."—Kirkus Reviews "Though Madison is no Sookie Stackhouse, she's definitely a keeper."—Publishers Weekly "It will no doubt appeal to many paranormal mystery fans...[Murder in Vein] is recommended for its likable characters and intriguing plot."—Library Journal "Thrilling, suspenseful, and darkly funny, Murder in Vein will leave you thirsting for more in this fabulous new series."—Kelli Stanley, author of City of Dragons "Sue Ann Jaffarian has added her own inimitable style to the urban fantasy genre. Murder in Vein is fast, fun and, as the cover notes, deliciously fang-in-cheek!"—Jeanne C. Stein, bestselling author of the Anna Strong Chronicles "Luminescent in the night fog, Murder in Vein calls to the reader to come along with its determined protagonist Madison Rose down a road fraught with murder, chills, humor and downright sexy undead suspects. This tale of dangerous things that go bump in the night by Sue Ann Jaffarian makes for a pleasurable and exciting read."—Gary Phillips, author of The Underbelly
