Joe Pitt's life sucks. He hasn't had a case or a job in God knows how long and his stashes are running on empty. What stashes? The only ones that count to a guy like Joe: blood and money. The money he uses to buy blood; the blood he drinks. Hey, buddy, it's that or your neck--you want to choose? The only way to lay his hands on both is to take a gig with the local Vampyre Clan. See, something new is on the streets, a new high, a high so strong it can send a Vampyre spazzing through Joe's local watering hole. Till Joe sends him through a plate-glass window, that is. So it's time for Joe to gut up and swallow that pride and follow the leads wherever they go. It won't be long before he's slapping stoolies, getting sapped, and being taken for a ride above 110th Street. Someone's pulling Joe's strings, and now he's riding the A train, looking to find who it is. He's gonna cut them when he finds them--the strings and the hands that hold them.From the Trade Paperback edition.

J'aime décidément beaucoup cette série de romans signés de la main de Charlie Huston. Nous sommes toujours entre polar et littérature fantastique avec les aventures new-yorkaises de Joe Pitt, vampire et plus ou moins détective privé.
Ce deuxième roman de la série est plus politique que le premier, dans le sens où il nous plonge plus directement dans les manigances des clans vampiriques qui se partagent Manhattan. C'est très bien fait, et malgré un début qui m'a semblé moins prenant que le premier roman, la suite embraye parfaitement et donne un résultat très divertissant. Largement suffisant pour me donner envie d'enchainer directement avec le troisième volume !
