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.... Praise for Death Warmed Over "Wickedly funny, deviously twisted and enormously satisfying. This is a big juicy bite of zombie goodness. Two decaying thumbs up." --Jonathan Maberry "A darkly funny, wonderfully original detective tale." --Kelley Armstrong "An unpredictable walk on the weird side. Prepare to be entertained." --Charlaine Harris… (mais)

Zombie PI Dan Chambeaux, with Robin, the lawyer half of their business and Sheyenne, Dan’s ghostly girlfriend who does everything else in the office, take on a number of cases for their unnatural clients in this second installment. Some of the things being tackled are the rights of golems, living outside of the quarter, the arson of the stage and set of William Shakespeare’s latest ghostly play and retrieving the heart and soul of a zombie. Human haters of all beings unnatural are being led by a senator who wants to outlaw practically everything, and a mob-family’s company is spreading quickly throughout the Quarter and causing problems.

Many of the characters met in the first book are on hand, as well as a number of new ones who run the gamut between those you’ll like versus those you hope to see brought low. The story is a fun read and chances are you’ll be able to guess some of the culprits before Dan reveals them. And you just might find yourself feeling the outrage and emotions experienced by both Robin and Sheyenne.

Not a bad way to escape reality for a few hours. ( )

I loved the first Dan Shamble PI book and was not disappointed in the second book in this series.
Kevin Anderson has a way of being able to take the most outrageous situations and still have his protagonist come out on top. It was another wild roller coaster ride and I’m looking forward to the next Dan Shamble adventure next month “Hair Raising”. ( )
