"Scott Sigler reinvented the alien-invasion story in his
bestselling novels "Infected" and "Contagious.".. rebooted the
biotech thriller in "Ancestor."..now, in his most ambitious,
sweeping novel to date, he works his magic on the paranormal
thriller, taking us inside a terrifying underworld of subterranean
predators that only his twisted mind could invent."
Homicide detective Bryan Clauser is losing his mind.
How else to explain the dreams he keeps having--dreams that
mirror, with impossible accuracy, the gruesome serial murders
taking place all over San Francisco? How else to explain the
"feelings "these dreams provoke in him--not disgust, not horror,
but "excitement?"
As Bryan and his longtime partner, Lawrence "Pookie" Chang,
investigate the murders, they learn that things are even stranger
than they at first seem. For the victims are all enemies of a
seemingly ordinary young boy--a boy who is gripped by the same
dreams that haunt Bryan. Meanwhile, a shadowy vigilante, seemingly
armed with superhuman powers, is out there killing the killers. And
Bryan and Pookie's superiors--from the mayor on down--seem
strangely eager to keep the detectives from discovering the truth.
Doubting his own sanity and stripped of his badge, Bryan begins to
suspect that he's stumbled into the crosshairs of a shadow war that
has gripped his city for more than a century--a war waged by a race
of killers living in San Francisco's unknown, underground ruins,
emerging at night to feed on those who will not be missed.
And as Bryan learns the truth about his own intimate connections
to the killings, he discovers that those who matter most to him are
in mortal danger...and that he may be the only man gifted--or
cursed--with the power to do battle with the "nocturnals. "
Featuring a dazzlingly plotted mystery and a terrifying descent
into a nightmarish underworld--along with some of the most
incredible action scenes ever put to paper, and an explosive,
gut-wrenching conclusion you won't soon forget--"Nocturnal "is the
most spectacular outing to date from one of the genre's brightest
stars.
