The Law is My Shepherd
There’s one vampire too many in Hawthorne.
Cheeky, recently ascended to the elevated ranks of the immortal undead, sat slumped in his chair, a gob of pink spit swinging from his chin as he breathed. Even without the cuffs, he was too depressed to move. He was scarecrow thin, with a two-week scruff on his cheeks, and rheumy eyes obscured by the greasy, thinning red hair dangling over his forehead. In other words, he looked perfectly normal. If not for the stink of crap and vomit and the speckles of blood around his lips and nose, you’d never know Anton Chekowicz had been having a really bad night.
“So, Cheeky, you realize you’re in violation of the Twilight Statutes, right? An unregistered nocturnal. Who killed you, Cheeky?”
In Detective Angus Wellstone's world, science has swept away the curtain of secrecy that once separated mankind from the supernatural. To cope with the changes, we've signed treaties, written laws and, at long last, learned to get along. But a vengeful demon threatens to shatter the fragile peace unless it can be stopped by a handful of small-town cops on the overnight.
With biting dialogue, lots of humor, accessible characters and practical solutions to supernatural problems, The Law is My Shepherd strips the glamour off the vampire epic and replaces it with good old fashioned police work.
