REVIEWS OF ELROD'S OTHER BOOKS:

This entertaining first installment in a new series by the author of The Vampire Files offers deft touches of wit, beauty and suspense. – Publisher’s Weekly.

“Elrod knows how to pace the action without resorting to caricature. These characters, including the vampires, believable...a pleasure to know!” – Library Journal

“Clever characterization, wicked wit, and palatable mayhem...[an] entertaining detective romp.” --Publisher’s Weekly

"Filled with snappy action and sharp dialogue, and featuring a likable hero, Elrod’s latest is certain to be a hit with the fang-loving crowd.” – Booklist

"Characters are well-drawn, the good and the bad ... The book's chief joys are the voice of Jonathan and the portrayal of Tory life during the American revolution." - LOCUS

P.N. Elrod ups the stakes (pun intended) in this latest, and best installment of the Jack Fleming saga. Chills, thrills, and dark doings in ‘30s Chicago, heralded by the arrival of a darkly fascinating new vampire character with a deadly secret. Elrod takes her universe into unexplored territory with Dark Road Rising.” – Rachel Caine, author of the Morganville Vampire series

“The book is as dark and decadent as blood and chocolate. The writing pops, and Jack Fleming is a narrator to die for.” --Caitlin Kittredge, author of the Nocturne City series.

“The setting is captivating, the characters are original, and the plot will leave you hungry for more.” --Lori Handeland, author of The Nightcreature series

“Dark Road Rising kept me up all night. A satisfying, smart, genuinely savvy read—with a lot of bite!” --Lilith Saintcrow, author of the Dante Valentine series.

The Devil You Know

VampWriter Books

List Price: $3.99

Description

PREVIEW AVAILABLE at vampwriter-dot-com/DevilYouKnowEXCERPT.htm

Vampire PI Jack Fleming travels to Long Island to attend a funeral.

Problem: There's more than one body in the grave.

Delving into his past, Jack follows clues leading to an old murder, new betrayals, and a hard look at the man he was vs. the vampire he's become.

__________________________________

What's more fun than one vampire on a case?

Two--especially when they don't like each other!

Wise-cracking, street-savvy vampire gumshoe Jack Fleming teams up with the archly genteel Jonathan Barrett, Gentleman Vampire, who's found a body on his Long Island estate and has no idea what to do about it.

Clues take Jack back to his old stamping grounds in the newspaper world, only slightly hampered by Barrett, who has his own ideas on how to conduct a murder investigation.

Before you can say "machine gun" both are up to their fangs in mobsters, murder, and mayhem in this fast-paced mystery adventure set in post-Prohibition New York.

This novel is also available as a signed, numbered, limited-edition trade paperback exclusively from VampWriter Books.

The Devil You Know is a (nearly) direct sequel to book three of the Vampire Files, "Bloodcircle" and is full of spoilers for that novel. While this story can be read on its own, you will enjoy it more if you have read "Bloodcircle" first. You have been warned!

Includes A Song in the Dark and Dark Road Rising

My name is Jack Fleming, nightclub owner, P.I.-and vampire. Usually, that's a combination that keeps me safe. But when a New York lowlife muscled in on Chicago territory, I survived his attempt to kill me by the skin of my fangs.

It brought out the vampire in me-and if I don't get my blood hunger back under control and do some detecting, not only might my girlfriend Bobbi take the fall for a murder she didn't commit, but the newly risen vampire I've been charged with babysitting-a nutjob mobster named "Whitey" Kroun-may do more damage than the syndicate torpedoes who are out to get him.

Things are getting far too bloody, even for a vampire...
