Something is amiss in Los Angeles. A body vanishes from the morgue. The errant son of L.A.'s most notorious necromancer has unleashed demons that not even his father can control. Real vampires are suddenly appearing among the wannabes at the Crypt, a local goth café.

Hare's narrative style is both engaging and richly layered, employing sharp dialogue and keen observations to reflect on themes of guilt, betrayal, and the fragility of human relationships, all while adhering to the conventions of the traditional whodunit.

WHERE NO ONE KNOWS YOUR NAME... Thanksgiving, 2075. Shadowrunning vampire-mage Rick “Red” Lang used to make his living hunting dangerous insect spirits and twisted mages, but when he awakens after twelve years of involuntary hibernation, he finds the rest of the world has gotten even stranger. Red begins piecing together what had happened during his lost time—and who put him under in the first place. But as he journeys through the neon-drenched ruins of Chicago and its augmented facades, Red uncovers an even larger plot involving eldritch forces seeking to invade from beyond our reality. He teams up with the few allies he can trust—Pretty, a beautiful ghoul, and Slim, a hacker extraordinaire—as they head into the middle of multiple schemes and power plays surrounding a dangerous new conflict threatening to shatter the uneasy peace into all-consuming chaos...

Shadowrun: Cortex Bomb

GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER… Once upon a time, Chance Dragonfly, elven synthboardist, was a member of Cortex Bomb, one of the fastest-rising punk bands in Seattle, rocking out in front of adoring crowds. But those heady days are long gone, and the other members of the band are the furthest thing from Chance’s mind…until one of them reaches out to her for help. Sticks, their drummer, has gone missing under very suspicious circumstances. And now Chance has only one way to get her back—find the other members of Cortex Bomb and hope they’ll come together for one last show.

Shadowrun: Lethal Knowledge

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE… Ex-special forces soldier-turned-shadowrunner Grim Fox thought he’d finally found a team he could call family. Along with Shen the face, Nero the mage, and Enjee the decker, the four of them were a solid unit…or so he thought. But when a European extraction run goes bad, the team needs another mission to restore their rep and fill their credsticks. That’s when a shadowy Johnson calls in the favor they owe him from their last job, when they had to save a kidnapped Nero. Despite their misgivings about working with him again, they take a meeting, and the mission. The run sounds simple—extract a teenager from his safe corporate life and deliver him to his mother—but Grim Fox and company all know any shadowrun can go wrong at any moment. And when this one does, suddenly they’re all on the run, bodyguarding a kid that megacorps will do anything to get their hands on…including gunning down anyone who gets in their way…
