A supernatural murder mystery set inside New York’s deadly vampire high society.
The victim was drained, devoured, and very well connected.
The Dead Set defines high society in the Locus of New York. Lavish soirées, formal dinner parties, decadent blood tastings, debutante balls, black-tie charity galas…the vampires do it all.
When socialite J. Gatsby goes missing, only one detective has the background, the breeding, and the poise to go undercover and root out the truth.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, that detective is Leery Oriscoe.
Of course, Leery brings Dru Nogan along for good measure. And it’s a good thing he does, because once the blood lords catch the scent of a werewolf on the wind, Dru must use every ounce of charm she has to keep suspicion away from them both.
Can the two detectives avoid discovery long enough to learn why They Ate Gatsby?
They Ate Gatsby is Book Five in the Claw & Warder series, perfect for readers who love supernatural police procedurals, paranormal courtroom drama, sharp gallows humour, and urban fantasy in the vein of Jim Butcher and Ben Aaronovitch.
