They are vampires, known politely as Sunless. The job of policing their community falls to the men and women of the Sunless Housing and Disclosure Executive SHADE. Captain John Redlaw is London's most feared and respected SHADE officer. But when the vampires start rioting in their ghettoes, and angry humans respond with violence of their own, even Redlaw may not be able to keep the peace. Especially when political forces are aligning to introduce a radical answer to the Sunless problem, one that will resolve the situation once and for all... Redlaw is New York Times best selling author James Lovegrove at his very best. : Review: In near-future Britain John Redlaw, a loner whose faith in God makes him an intriguing protagonist, is a maverick cop tasked with looking after the affairs of illegal immigrants. They're housed in ghettoes, otherwise known as SRAs, Sunless Residential Areas, and from time to time these marginalised, despised second-class citizens break out and riot. When Redlaw investigates a plot by a corrupt politician and avaricious businessman to relocate and eventually eradicate the immigrants, his humanity and faith are tested to the limits. The beauty of Lovegrove's biting satire is that the immigrants are vampires, adding a fresh twist to the hoary trope, and Redlaw a friendless, tormented soul equally despised and revered as a fearless officer in a dangerous occupation. He's an inspired creation, a dauntless-hero-without-a-past saved from clich? by his faith and humanity, who carries the reader with him through the fast-paced, occasionally stomach-churning narrative. --The Guardian : About the Author: James Lovegrove published his first novel at the age of twenty-four and has since written more than 35 books.
