Synopsis

After exposing the secret source of blood for half of Manhattans Vampyres, private eye Joe Pitt is definitely a dead man walking. For a year hes sloshed around the subway tunnels and sewers, tapping the veins of the lost, while above ground a Vampyre civil war threatens to drag the Clans into the sunlight once and for all. Whats it gonna take to dig him up? Just the search for a missing girl whos carrying a baby that just might be the destiny of Vampyrekind. Not that Joe cares all that much about destiny and such. What he cares about is that his exgirl Evie wants him to take the gig. Whats the risk? Another turn playing pigeon in a shooting gallery. Whats the reward? Maybe one shot of his own. Whats he aiming for? Nothing much. Just all the evil at the heart of his world.

I am a big fan of Charlie Huston - and his Joe Pitt character in particular - but both of them seem to have lost their edge in My Dead Body. Dead Body picks up a......more

Goodreads review by Matt on October 30, 2009

I've always enjoyed Charlie Huston - both his hard crime and his "urban fantasy" Joe Pitt series. I have to admit though, this was not my favorite of the series. While still a fun ride, it didn't have the punch or clarity of the earlier books. Seemed at times like the author was trying to tie off ev......more

Goodreads review by Dave on November 02, 2009

In 2005 I was burned out on Vampire novels. Anne Rice’s books really weren’t my thing. I thought they were more romance novels than horror novels.
