Peter Hartog
Originally from Massachusetts, and a graduate of Brandeis University, I’m a damn Yankee living the past 25 years in Roswell, a suburb of Atlanta. By day, I’m an insurance professional, saving the world one policy at a time. As a father of two crazy, messy boys (10 and 11), three rescue cats, and one dog, my evening is full of cartoons, belly rubs, head scratches and fart jokes. When I’m not corralling our menagerie at home, I’m busy scribbling away at the sequel to BLOODLINES, because Doc Holliday’s case load has only just begun!
Books
A murdered woman with a bogus past. A disgraced homicide detective seeking redemption. And a magical conspiracy that spans the ages.
Welcome to Empire City.
When former hotshot homicide detective Tom "Doc" Holliday is recruited to join Special Crimes, he trades in his dead-end desk job for a second chance to do what he does best - hunt down killers. And his first case doesn't disappoint: a murdered woman, her body drained of blood, and two eyewitnesses wasted on the designer drug Goldjoy claiming a vampire did it.
​
For Holliday is no stranger to the unusual. He wields the Insight, a fickle clairvoyance that allows him to see the dark and terrible things that hide within his world. After all, when you live in Empire City, where magic and technology co-exist, and humanity endures behind walls of stone and spell-forged steel, anything is possible.
Saddled with a team whose past is as checkered as his own, Holliday embarks upon an investigation that pits them against bio-engineered vampires, inter-dimensional parasites, and the magical masterminds behind it all.
From nightclubs and skyscrapers, to underground drug labs and coffee shops, Holliday's search for the truth will uncover a shadowy conspiracy that spans the ages, and forces him to confront a destiny he never wanted.
