A Little Taste of Everyone

Zukail, Night PI, Book 1

By: Zachary Cooper

Narrated by: Mark Blessington

Zukail, Z, or Zuke to those who know him, is a private investigator, and in the city, there is plenty for him to do, since being a good guy here is more like not lying blatantly enough on your taxes. Money is power, and power is obvious around here. This is not fully a city of sin, but it is known as one to many, as everyone is morally questionable, and the shining beacons of moral conscience are dim, few, and far between. Good pretending to be bad, bad pretending to be good - who knows who is in the middle of things. Everyone could be naughty, from managers of grocery stores to owners of golf courses, from teachers to sportscasters. This story isn't about one of those dim spots of light - well, maybe a little bit, every couple of years. He has a calendar somewhere. It is a gritty vampire story with a vampiric society and competition.

There's a new gal in town, and Zukail is often a part of the team to check whether they are legitimate, lying, manipulating, or bad at it. She is not having a good time, and she might even be new to the "monster" she has become - what a treat, he gets to babysit as well.

For young adults, if they are sturdy enough (that is up to you); this is mostly mature material. Blood, fantasy violence, drugs, and torture. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, locations, business, events, and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, locations, or actual events is purely coincidental.
