Vampire private eye and criminal necromancer return to unravel the mystery of a stolen painting. 

*
When a famous painting vanishes during a gala at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, reformed necromancer turned private eye's assistant, Isla, considers it serendipitous that she happens to be at the soiree. Just don't mention to her vampire boss (and former fling), Greg, she was there on a date with the handsome curator.

Hey, if the vamp wants to keep things all business and no play between them, that's his loss. She can be professional about it. Totally.

Determined to prove her worth at this whole mystery solving business, Isla convinces her date to hire a certain vampire/necromancer private eye duo to recover the artwork before getting the pesky human authorities involved.

Greg, if you're wondering, isn't jealous. He's making damn sure things stay all business between him and Isla moving forward. It's not like he's still craving her intoxicating blood or anything. That would be unprofessional. She can date whoever she wants... after they find this pinched painting.

Of course, nailing the thief would go a lot faster if greedy suspects didn't also keep vanishing one by one.

Criminal necromancer & vampire private eye team up to solve the case of the missing barista. *** When a client drops dead in her fortune telling parlor, 'reformed' necromancer Isla has no choice but to illegally resurrect the poor gal. Your girl's got priors, alright? Hiding a corpse will send Isla back to the slammer. The client's just a Tourist, so Isla is certain nobody will notice. But you know what they say: The only things certain in life are death, taxes, and a handsome vampire poking his fangs where they don't belong. Gregor, a vampire private detective, has been hired to find another vamp's misplaced favorite bloodbag-- I mean, barista. Greg knows the fraudulent and distractingly attractive psychic, Isla, is the key to the barista's whereabouts, but he just can't put his fangs on what it is she's hiding from him. If her little whoopsie is discovered, Isla fears both the otherworldly authorities and an ancient vampire will have her throat. So she does what any girl would do in her situation. She hires Greg to find the risen barista for her first so that she can undo the resurrection. Sparks fly and blood splatters as Greg and Isla investigate Philadelphia's secret paranormal society, throw literal bones at the werewolf mafia, commune with the spirits of dead vampire-brides, dodge arrest by the magic fuzz, and occasionally pop off for late night cheesesteaks.
