Operation WetFish: Vampire Detective

Operation WetFish #1

by Adam Carter

Threats, witness intimidation, lack of evidence or just expensive lawyers. Sometimes the guilty walk free of the courts with a spring in their step and a smile on their face. With the changing, more transparent world looming on the horizon, one clandestine department of the London police force in the 1990s struggles to continue with its thirty year remit: to correct the mistakes of the courts. Threats, suspect intimidation, planting evidence or just taking out the lawyers. Sometimes the cops can play dirty too.

Charles Baronaire lives for the thrill of making the streets safe. But Baronaire has other things on his mind. He’s stronger, faster, more agile than ordinary human beings; he can focus his mind to alter people’s perceptions, can establish command over nature’s baser creatures. And he has an insatiable appetite for human blood.

Sometimes to fight the city’s monsters in suits the law is forced to employ the greatest monsters of them all.

About the author

I like to tell stories. Sometimes they have to be big, sometimes they work better small. I like to write serials which can be read without reading all the ones which came before. There's nothing more off-putting than a book you can't understand! I work in as many genres as possible and read anything I can get my hands on, but have an especial love of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Alexandre Dumas. They both understood stories should be fun. Primarily I enjoy exploring characters; and the best thing about continuing fiction is gradually changing characters with whom the reader can laugh and cry and love and hate. And finally I think every book has room for humour, especially when it's inappropriate.

bloody fantastic!
nifty little story about a secret op within the police.
featuring crooked lawyers, prostitutes and one of the best leading men since that chap out of the American TV series MOONLIGHT about a similar chap but a slick private eye.
Our chap is not so slick, down at earth and with a penchant for violence. It is witty and well written, short enough to leave you wanting more but long enough to tell a good story.

Read it now !!
Please let there be another one.

This was an unusual representation of a vampire detective with attributes of Dracula.
