Jack Bone is at it again in Paul Dalzell's haunting new novel, Everything Hurts. As a cop-turned-private investigator with a vampire girlfriend, Bone is used to living life on the edge. But when a slew of college girls turns up dead from heroin overdoses, his investigation takes him to places darker than he could ever imagine. The first stop? Crime boss Alfie Rice, who gives Bone and his assistant, Lucy Laughton, the inside track on local heroin dealers. It's in this sordid world where they also learn about the existence of the urban legend known as Candyman, a drug-related serial killer rumored to prey on innocent students. Along the way, Bone makes the acquaintance of Lucy's vampire great-grandmother, Eugenie-who just so happens to be the Grand Duchess of Transylvania. Meanwhile, Lucy's vampire twin sister, Mina, proves helpful to the investigation with her hypnotic and telepathic abilities. A compelling exploration into the Gothic origins of vampire mythology, Everything Hurts provides a decidedly adult look into the evolution of the blood-sucking mythological creatures that have fascinated the world for centuries.

Forget anything you know about history in the last 400 years. England's Glorious Revolution failed. A descendant of the Stewarts, King James the Fifth occupies the British throne in 2006 and the British Empire is the dominant world power. The British Empire monopoly on nuclear weapons is challenged by the theft of five atom bombs. Imperial Secret Service Chief, Sir Anthony Raja, summons Mick Doyle to recover the missing weapons, suspected to be hidden in a German run gold mine in British New Guinea. Doyle is warned at the beginning of the mission that 'everything in New Guinea will be trying to kill him.' It seems as if New Guinea is trying to make good on that promise. The recovery of the nuclear weapons is the toughest mission Doyle has ever undertaken. From the start, the mission is dogged by bad-luck and an ingenious enemy, always one-step ahead. His team must survive hostile New Guinea warriors, man-eating sharks and crocodiles, venomous snakes and a Chinese military force allied to the Germans.
