In a town where the noises in the night aren't always gunshots, some cases require investigators who are more than human. When a literal femme fatale, the zombie slayer Abigail Laveau, hires werepanther private eye Virgil Meriweather to find her missing sister, it's not long before he's mixed up with all sorts of underworld figures - Vodun bokors, werewolves, zombies, and even a Mexican death god ... Meanwhile, Virgil's partner, vampire Warrenwick Gam, has his own hands full after he saves a suicidal secretary. Are Nora Donovan's nightmares the result of trauma, magic, or something else entirely? Can a vampire actually help a girl with the face of an angel? When things bump in the night, Gam and Meriweather bump back.
