Stan Markowski is a Detective Sergeant on the Scranton PD's Supernatural Crimes Investigation Unit.
Like the rest of America, Scranton's got an uneasy 'live and let unlive' relationship with the supernatural. But when a vamp puts the bite on an unwilling victim, or some witch casts the wrong kind of spell, that's when they call Markowski. He carries a badge. Also, a crucifix, some wooden stakes, a big vial of holy water, and a 9mm Beretta loaded with silver bullets. - from Amazon.com
I received this copy for free from the author in exchange for review. That being said, why have I not read this author before?!? I was drawn into the story, and found it hard to put down.
Markowski is a Sergeant on the Scranton, N.J., Police force, the Occult Division. In this alternate plane, supernaturals (vampires, werewolves, fairies, wizards, etc.) are common, though society may not embrace them. When the case gets weird, the Occult Division gets called in. This time, it is someone killing off vampires ... and there is something big at stake (pardon the pun).
Gustainis has done a great job in building character and plot in this first installment to the Occult Crimes Unit series. I found myself liking the main characters, with their human failings (love for family, desires to be loved, etc). I am avidly looking forward to reading the next book.
