In Death Warmed Over, detective Dan Chambeaux takes on a number of investigations. Chief among these is protecting a Vampire from a group of supremacists-against-the-unnatural, and digging up dirt on the owner of a company that produces cosmetics for the undead by the man's estranged werewolf-wife. All the while, he searches for clues to the person or persons who poisoned his girlfriend Sheyenne, and gunned him down in the streets.
To the surprise of Robin, a big-hearted laywer who takes on most of her cases on a pro bono basis, Dan Chambeaux stumbled--or shambled--back into the office shortly after death. Assisted by Sheyenne, who also rose from the dead as a poltergeist, Robin and Dan will never be rich, but as they serve a variety of unnatural clients, their work will never be boring.
It's been eight years since I last read Death Warmed over, and I found the novel a welcome return. Kevin J. Anderson keeps Dan's life full of interest, and his writing his chock full of humor. The novel makes a light, fast read, and the perfect book for the beach.
Provided, that is, that you're not a vampire.
If you enjoy Death Warmed Over, there are seven other books in the series. Given how many cases Dan undertakes, I don't know how many investigations those eight books will cover, but I can guarantee that they'll be fun.
