Five years ago, life in the United States changed forever when swarms of vampires overran the country in a war that dwarfed the carnage of the American Civil War. Many died, others were turned into vampires, and the survivors were rounded up and sent to massive internment camps for the next three years.
Five years after the war, ex-cop turned private investigator Charlie Welles is the day-side investigator for Night and Day Investigations. His partner, Joshua Thomas, a vampire and Charlie’s trusted friend, handles the night business.
When a seventeen-year-old runaway Welles is tracking is found drained of all her blood in an Uptown dumpster, it seems like the sad ending of another vampire-related missing person case. But after his partner is murdered and the bodies, human and vampire, start to pile up, Welles discovers a web of police corruption, organized crime and dark medical experiments in a case that may cost him far more than his life.
To find who killed his partner, and why, Charlie Welles must struggle to find elusive truth in the darkness of Night and the light of Day.
Ken White spent most of his working life in Public Safety - police, fire, emergency management. In between, he held jobs as varied as gardener on a millionaire's estate, fire alarm system salesman, manager of a fast-food hamburger joint and top-rated radio announcer in his market.
His first fiction sales were to men's magazines, but he later moved on to sales more mainstream publications like Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Espionage Magazine.
Since 2006, Ken has been involved with a form of animated filmmaking called machinima, and an internet radio station that he founded. In 2008, he started a large machinima community on the Internet.
Ken, originally a New York City guy, recently relocated from South Florida to Birmingham, AL.
The premise of this story is great. Imagine one day the U.S. is over run with vampires who ship humans into detention camps and basically rule the night while the humans rule the day. Charles Wells works alongside and sometimes against humans and Vees to find out who killed his partner and others. Anyone who loves teeth baring and gritty story telling should read this story, thank you Mr. White!
