City of Devils by Justin Robinson

4.0

Between this and second season Peggy Carter, it seems like everybody's nicking my idea for 'Ar Noir'--the bomb brings something scary and supernatural into the world. This is your book if you've been looking for a 'hard boiled dick tries to avoid being eaten' story. Moss, our shamus in residence, works Los Angeles after the Night Wars that humanity fought with monsters soon after WWII. The good guys didn't win this fight. Humans are the underpowered minority in the City now, which makes investigating a murder among the bigwig monster politicians and fabulous monster moviestars that much trickier. That hits several of my sweet spots, and if it does yours then I encourage you to pick up this well written, well paced paean to dark alleys, grey hats, and twisted plots. Also Pumpkinheads.
