In The Book with No Name, Detective Miles Jensen must uncover the link between a supernatural book and a rash of murders committed by a killer known only as the Bourbon Kid before the city is cast into eternal darkness.
Volume one in a fast-paced, cinematic trilogy shot through with supernatural black humor
In Santa Mondega, an unnamed book brings violent death to anyone who reads it, a mysterious blue stone-the Eye of the Moon-has vanished, a total eclipse is about to cast the city into utter darkness, and in the shadowed streets lurks the serial killer known only as the Bourbon Kid. Detective Miles Jensen must race to uncover the link between the book, the murders, and the Kid. But as the mystery unravels, he discovers that there's more to Santa Mondega than meets the eye. Not only is the place full of gangsters, martial-arts monks, lowlifes, bounty hunters, and an Elvis-impersonating hitman, there is a whole bunch of vampires, too.
"Sheer fun . . . the world needs more gangster novels featuring vampires, monks and Elvis impersonators." -Observer
