Already Dead by Charlie Huston
Already Dead is a vampire detective novel with zombie interruptions. Joe Pitt is a rogue vampire in a city of vampire "gangs", and he's trying hard to remain independent. The city is New York City, and the vampires and other assorted creatures of the night live just under the surface. Joe keeps his independence by doing favors for the muckety-mucks of the major vamp gangs--favors you might expect from a noirish detective. Joe has a few issues to resolve: he's in love with an HIV+ bartender who doesn't know he's a vamp, he has stumbled across some sort of zombie-making monster, and he's searching for a missing girl who was last seen hanging with a recently zombified murder victim.
This is the freshest of the recent crop of vamp books I've read. It's the kind of book that makes me say, "Hey, what else has this guy written?"
