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. 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. 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. Nick finds he can't get personally uninvolved with any of it. That doesn't even get into the school principal, a woman with secrets of her own, who has a deeply unsettling effect on him.
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. 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. 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. 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. There was something wrong with this blood. Nick frowned, staring around at the alley floor.
