The Case No One Foretold

Mark Julian, Vampire P.I. Mystery #5

by L.G. Fabbo-Gonnella

Two men engage in an altercation in a movie lobby. Later one of the men turns up dead in a New York City alley. But this is no ordinary murder. The deceased is a sex demon and his fellow combatant was the werewolf, Jean-Claude Roué, fiancé of Mark’s shape-shifter secretary. Now the werewolf is accused of his murder and faces a trial by before a supernatural tribunal. If Jean-Claude is convicted for causing this death it will mean his execution. This time however, Mark Julian is away on a personal investigation in Kenya so Tortego, the crafty vampire chief, goes to an unusual source to secure help. Using his powers as head of New York City’s supernatural community he appoints Mark’s human partner, Detective Vincent Pasquale, to be one of the three judges for Jean-Claude’s trial. Now Vinnie must not only fight to clear his friend, Jean-Claude, he must deal with his supernatural the werewolf Viola Lupa and the sex demon Dale Carter. Both of his companion judges are on record as sworn enemies of “any mixed supernatural mating.” Throw in a shifty shape shifter named Andelan Clarke, Ja-ne the original Oracle of Delphi and, a sexy TV newsman from the island of Guernsey who appears to be more interested in bedding Vinnie than nailing a story and it truly becomes “The Case No One Foretold”!

4.5 Stars ~> 5 stars for this mysterious fast paced goodie
So this is by far the best book out of all of the Mark Julian Vampire P.I series, this far..and I loved the way the author has managed to continuously add new characters, tie up old characters, and add in some twists that keep you on your toes. Vinnie and Mark, have found their way back to each other, their sex life heats up and isn't so much fade to black and the author even incorporated some good ol' angst which made me a happy camper! Can't wait until book 6 now to see what happens!!

My Rating: 4 of 5 Stars



Mark has been sent somewhere and his absence is felt. Deeply. Vinnie is on his own and getting confused, guilty and miserable. Jean-Claude has been charged with a murder.

... and something wicked goes their way.

This is not the Mark Julian mysteries I have learned to love.

This story has Vinnie front and center stage. Mark is oblivious to what is going on, finding himself off to some country and reminiscing of the good old days. Vinnie finds his detective skills tested. Worse, he may be Jean-Claude's only saving hope.

The mystery is there but the thrill of a chase is not. We have a courtroom case, a conspiracy unfolding, and the future is not looking too good for both Vinnie and Mark. The reading is great as usual. Fast paced, plot developing rapidly, complexity of the mystery getting more complex, the end... well, for me, there is none because what happens next is truly mystifying.

I can't wait for the next book. I want to know!
