What's more fun than one vampire on a case?
Two--especially when they don't like each other!
Wise-cracking, street-savvy vampire gumshoe Jack Fleming teams up with the wickedly genteel Jonathan Barrett, Gentleman Vampire, who's found a body on his Long Island estate and has no idea what to do about it.
Clues take Jack back to his old stamping grounds in the newspaper world, only slightly hampered by Barrett, who has his own ideas on how to conduct a murder investigation.
Before you can say "machine gun" both are up to their fangs in mobsters, murder, and mayhem in this fast-paced mystery adventure set in post-Prohibition New York.
This novel is also available as a signed, numbered, limited-edition trade paperback exclusively from VampWriter Books.
The Devil You Know is a (nearly) direct sequel to book three of the Vampire Files, "Bloodcircle", and is full of spoilers for that novel. While this story can be read on its own, you will enjoy it more if you have read "Bloodcircle" first. You have been warned!
For the sake of nervous parents, this book's rated at having adult content; some of the characters occasionally employ salty language.
