It's the autumn of 1996. Sam Wayne is one of Glitter City's Unwilling Orphan Alumna Afterliving. He's self-described as the most terrible vampire around. He's also hooked into the pulse of the city and the world as an accomplished computer security breaker. Vangie Forrest is the daughter of one of the most powerful werewolves in the area, with a jealous and possessive mostly ex-boyfriend. When the two meet by chance in a coffee shop, and go for a spur-of-the-moment walk in the park, things go from puppy-love to save-the-city with a murderous apocalypse cult trying to wipe Glitter City from the map. As the two of them tumble from fights to fast cars to ballrooms to campgrounds, their attraction and affection for each other grows. Can the two young lovers from different and hostile worlds bridge the gap and remain together? Or, will old habits, old obligations, bitter rivalries, petty disputes and long memories destroy them? In Glitter City, even a cup of coffee can get complicated, fast.

In the summer of 1996, an innocent woman is murdered in a graveyard and less-than-innocent arms-dealer is murdered on their yacht, resulting in an unlikely alliance between an infamous member of the Vampire Secret Police, and a Nun from Vatican Special Forces. In the neon-and-shadow nights of Glitter City, no one can be trusted, and the lies and manipulations abound. Can Gabriel Lafleche, known by those who fear him as 'The Fist', and Sister Adrielle Seton, his partner-of-convenience, figure out what's going on before counter-plots and direct dangers claim them both as victims? To complicate things, he can't ignore her looks and zest for life. To her, he's the ultimate bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks. From dive-bars to ballrooms, the sparks fly and tension climbs with every lead they follow and every move they make together.Even if they can unravel the twisted threads, there is no guarantee that justice will be served. In the Night of Glitter City, sometimes, might makes right.
