Synopsis

New York City; 1939. Jimmy Underhill had been the most respected private detective in Manhattan, but he gave it up to fight The Good Fight against fascism in Spain. Now he's back in New York wounded in body and spirit, and trying his best to forget. He's been hitting the bottle, chasing skirts, and taking on cases no reputable agency would ever touch; cases involving vampirism, demons, all manner of black magic and the occult. He even accepts an assignment from his strangest and most dangerous client a beautiful Jewish vampire.
He's tracking her enemies, and his, when one bite from a female werewolf changes everything.
Struggling to come to grips with the dark power of the beast growing within himself, Jimmy can't stop from seeing what those around him refuse to admit. From the loftiest penthouses to the darkest alleys, secret supernatural allies of the Nazis are at work in Manhattan, gathering powerful forces to feed the Beast ravaging Europe. Only one man who is becoming far more, and far less, than human can stop them. Jimmy Underhill. Nazi fighter. Private eye. Werewolf.

Contains violence, mature content, graphic language.

About this title

Review

"[Five stars]... Recommends it for: lovers of blood good pulp melange. If you can find this book, read it. It's like if Indiana Jones were a private eye and a werewolf and in some kind of Lovecraftian nightmare town. Seriously." - Philip Gilatt, Goodreads
