Meet Matt Richter. Private Eye. Zombie. His mean streets are the city of the dead, the shadowy realm known as Nekropolis. And in his first case, Richter must help a delectable vampire named Devona recover a legendary artifact known as the Dawnstone, before it's used to destroy the entire city. Pulp and proud, cracking wise like the reanimated corpse of Dashiell Hammett, Nekropolis is just the first of a trio of fabulous urban fantasies from the mighty Tim Waggoner.
