About this ebook
From a New York Times bestseller, “a zombie sleuth prowls the mean streets as he works a half-dozen seriously weird cases” in this urban sci-fi fantasy(Kirkus Reviews).
Single Dead Detective Seeks Clue
Ever since the Big Uneasy unleashed vampires, werewolves, and other undead denizens on the world, it’s been hell being a detective--especially for zombie P. I. Dan Chambeaux. Taking on the creepiest of cases in the Unnatural Quarter with a human lawyer for a partner and a ghost for a girlfriend, Chambeaux redefines “dead on arrival.” But just because he was murdered doesn’t mean he’d leave his clients in the lurch. Besides, zombies are so good at lurching.
Now he’s back from the dead and back in business--with a caseload that's downright unnatural. A resurrected mummy is suing the museum that put him on display. Two witches, victims of a curse gone terribly wrong, are seeking restitution. And he's got to figure out a very personal question--who killed him?
For Dan Chambeaux, it's all in a day’s work . . .
“A darkly funny, wonderfully original detective tale.” —Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of A Twist of Fate).
“Wickedly funny, deviously twisted and enormously satisfying. This is a big juicy bite of zombie goodness. Two decaying thumbs up!” —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times–bestselling author of Kagan the Damned
“An unpredictable walk on the weird side. Prepare to be entertained.” —Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse True Blood series
“Like Alexander McCall Smith's Mma Precious Ramotswe, [Anderson’s] sleuths really do settle most of their cases, and they provide a lot of laughs along the way.” –Kirkus Reviews
