Joe Pitt, Fiction, Fantasy
Joe Pitt is back in the third of Charlie Huston's stunning vampire noir novels.
There's a bad vibe in the air. Every Vampyre in Manhattan feels it in their bones...and in their blood. The mother of all gang rumbles is brewing between the divided Clans of the city's undead. A battle royal for more turf that will tear the island from stem to stern. And just his luck, Joe Pitt is smack in the middle of it.
A rogue Vampyre who shunned Clan life, Joe's his own man. Kind of. Thing is, there's certain people have a claim on his talents. When they need someone who's...expendable, they call on Joe Pitt. They're calling now.
With war drums beating from the Hudson to the Harlem River, Joe's been dispatched into the uncharted territory of Brooklyn to seal an alliance with the Freaks - a Clan who more than live up to their name. But across the bridge, things go south with savage swiftness, as Joe gets swept into a murderous family feud between crazed Clans that will paint the borough scarlet from Gravesend to Coney Island.
Praise for Half The Blood Of Brooklyn: A Joe Pitt Novel, book 3
-
'Huston s third Joe Pitt vampire novel (after Already Dead and No Dominion) takes his Manhattan-based hard-boiled hero on a dangerous trip into the undead communities across the bridge in Brooklyn. The various vampire clans in New York are on the brink of conflict. Leadership has fallen apart, and to make things worse, a Van Helsing is running amok and has recently murdered a longtime supplier of contraband blood. Worst of all, Pitt s AIDS-stricken girlfriend, Evie, is in the hospital failing fast. Once again, he s faced with an almost classical dilemma: infecting her with the vampire virus will destroy the illness that s killing her, but she ll be a vampire. Sent to Brooklyn to meet with a rogue clan of carnival freak vampires, Pitt ends up battling a group of radical Jewish bloodsuckers called the lost tribe of Gibeah. As always, Huston s formidable writing chops are on full display: his action scenes are unparalleled in crime fiction and his dialogue is so hip and dead-on that Elm - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Violent, often ugly, Huston s series is not for the squeamish, but fans will find this third installment the best to date.' - KIRKUS REVIEWS
