The Bone Eaters: Nick & Amato Investigation #1 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A vampire, a werewolf and the Detroit Police Department's most incompetent Inhuman Crimes Unit officer walk into a bar.

Oh, and so does the CEO of a pharmaceutical company which is hiding a terrible secret.

And also the charismatic pastor of a Detroit mega-church/casino who is enraged that the corpse of one of his flock may have been reanimated as part of a mafia-run zombie fight club.

And let's not even get into the young pharmacology researcher conducting a controlled experiment to figure out why men never call her for a second date.

In The Bone Eaters, newly minted private eye, Nick Slipwick, joins forces with Lieutenant Amato to unravel these mysteries. They discover more than they expect: vampires weren't driven from North America 200 years ago after all, the werewolf fences that surround every town and city may not be as effective as everyone thinks, and a creature is stalking the night who is completely unlike all of the regular monsters you learn about in social studies.

And not just because he is somewhat obsessed with Dirty Dancing.

The Bone Eaters is a fast-moving, genre-skewering comedy, lovingly satirizing horror, mystery, and 'chick lit.' The novel brings together multiple interwoven story lines into a fun and satisfying conclusion. Just like we're praying George R. R. Martin does.

The Bone Eaters: 50% humor, 50% horror, 50% mystery, and 50% romance. It's twice the entertainment of a regular book.

Autorenporträt

Keith Faigin grew up in Ithaca, NY and has lived all around the United States including such places as Chicago and Atlanta. He received degrees in Computer Science from Williams College and the University of Illinois. Currently, he resides in the Detroit area with his family and two dogs. Keith is an improvisational comedian on the resident cast of Go Comedy! Improv Theater in Ferndale, Michigan (www.gocomedy.net) and can be seen performing there several weekends a month. He has also been known to do some stand-up (winner of the "Funniest Man in Peoria, IL" contest in 1994!) and is one of the producers of the Detroit Improv Festival (www.detroitimprovfestival.org). His day job is most frequently described as 'nerdy'. When Keith set out to write his first book, he had one goal in mind: to entertain. Sometimes some deeper ideas sneak into his work but that is never intentional and certainly never the focus. "I want my books to be the ones that you can't wait to take on vacation with you or the ones that you read to forget about your real-life stress for a little while. I don't expect anyone to be forcing themselves through my book because book club meets next week. Well, unless you have a really big book club, in which case I will come be a guest speaker if it means a couple dozen quick sales. I've got basically no promotion budget, you know."
