Description: IN 1947 NEW YORK, EVEN THE MONSTERS HAVE MONSTERS TO FEAR

Faolan O'Connor runs New York City the old-fashioned way - with charm, violence, and an army of vampyr gangsters. But when a mysterious Chinese demon-ghost starts devouring Chinatown's criminal underworld, Faolan faces an enemy that bullets can't kill and must confront the savage nature he's tried to keep in check.

As if an immortal crime boss with an eating disorder wasn't enough trouble, the aristocratic vampyrs of the South are offering Faolan an alliance he can't refuse, but doesn’t know if he can stomach. Now he's caught between ancient evils, government agents, and a psychopathic assassin from his past. With his loyal crew uncertain and the woman he loves pulling away, Faolan must decide whether to maintain his humanity and watch his empire crumble, or embrace the monster within and become everything he fears he could be.

DEAD MONEY is a supernatural noir thriller that combines the criminal empire-building of The Godfather with the dark fantasy of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. With a rich cast of gangsters, grifters, and immortal power players, DEAD MONEY delivers blood, betrayal, and a protagonist who's trying his damnedest not to be the villain of his own story.
