READY-TO-WERE The fur really flies when a serial scalper stalks the supernatural citizens of the Unnatural Quarter, targeting werewolves and what s sadder than a chrome-domed lycanthrope? Zombie P.I. Dan Shamble is on the case, trying to stop an all-out gang war between full-time and full-moon werewolves. As he combs through the tangled clues to hunt down the bald facts, things get hairy fast. Shamble lurches through a loony landscape of voodoo tattoo artists, illicit cockatrice fights, body builders assembling make-your-own-human kits, and perhaps scariest of all, crazed fans in town for the Worldwide Horror Convention. Yet the reign of hair-raising terror grows longer. If Shamble can t snip this off at the roots, the whole world could end up howling mad.
''The inventive detective series starring Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I., is back for a third outing. The 'monstrous' characters -- who are occasionally more human than the humans -- are deftly handled with humor. Readers will be rooting for the team at Chambeaux & Deyer Investigations.'' RT Book Reviews, 4 stars
