Synopsis:

Welcome to After Hours Investigations, open from dusk 'til dawn... Cassandra Zinnea and Evgeny Nightstalk have taken on their fair share of strange cases in their time--what do you expect when your clientele is drawn from the sort of people who only come out at night? But now they find themselves confronting a ruthless and fiendish foe, an opponent not averse to employing the blackest arts to further their nefarious aims. Danger lurks everywhere and the darkness can hide a multitude of sins...not to mention all manner of ambulatory corpses, forbidden rituals and ravening creatures plucked from the formless ether. So Dark the Night is, at once, a supernatural thriller and a loving homage to film noir and the gritty, hard-boiled poetry found in the very best crime fiction. Funny, sexy and terrifying, So Dark the Night is an entertaining hybrid, a dizzying mix of genres, a spook show that delivers everything it promises.

A chilling, thrilling blend of mystery and horror. I love the notion of detectives who only work at night (without being vampires) and their clientele are hilarious and eccentric. The case involves a coven of occultists that are up to no good. Definitely influenced by Lovecraft and hard-boiled writers like Hammett and Robert Parker. The book manages to be hilarious in one breath and scary as heck the next. I can see Uma Thurman and Philip Seymour Hoffman playing the two leads in the movie. Their dialogue and interaction alone makes So Dark the Night a must read. Take a chance on an obscure Canadian writer who knows his stuff and has talent to burn. The best mystery novel I've read in ages. Double thumbs up!
