Unnatural Acts by Kevin J Anderson

In the Unnatural Quarter, golems slave away in sweatshops, necromancers sell black-market trinkets to tourists, and the dead rise up--to work the night shift. But zombie detective Dan Shamble is no ordinary working stiff. When a local senator and his goons picket a ghostly production of Shakespeare in the Dark--condemning the troupe's unnatural lifestyles--Dan smells something rotten. And if something smells rotten to a zombie, you're in serious trouble.

Before his way of life, er, death, is destroyed, Dan wants answers. Along the way he needs to provide security for a mummified madame, defend a mixed-race couple (he's a vampire, she's a werewolf) from housing discrimination, and save his favorite watering hole, the Goblin Tavern, from drying up. Throw in a hairy hitman, a necro-maniac, and a bank robber who walks through walls, and Dan Shamble's plate is full. Maybe this time, the zombie detective has bitten off more than he can chew.

A darkly funny, wonderfully original detective tale. --Kelley Armstrong

An unpredictable walk on the weird side. Prepare to be entertained. --Charlaine Harris
