In Hollywood, everyone's got secrets. Some are big, hairy, and will rip you apart under a full moon.
Broke PI Vince Lockwood thinks he's hit the jackpot when a lawyer offers him more money than he's seen in months. Find a missing person. Simple.
The job leads him to Alena DeLuca, mobster's wife, drowning in secrets, desperate enough to call a PI who sleeps in his office.
What she slides across the table is a vial of black temptation, dangerous as her smile. One taste, and Vince learns monsters are real, starting with what he becomes.
His investigation leads him through a rogues' gallery of power-hungry Russians, shadowy hunters, Nazi scientists, and gangsters bleeding werewolves dry for profit.
And his beautiful client may be the most dangerous monster of all.
With mob hitmen on his trail and the full moon rising, Vince has to decide how far he'll go to save innocent lives and whether he can survive what he becomes in the process.
Sometimes the only thing worse than having no case is taking the wrong one.
Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and classic noir detective fiction—where Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles collides with supernatural horror in neon-soaked 1985 Hollywood.
