Nocturnal: A Novel

Scott Sigler reinvented the alien-invasion story in his bestselling novels Infected and Contagiousâ€¦ rebooted the biotech thriller in Ancestorâ€¦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.
Â
Homicide detective Bryan Clauser is losing his mind.Â
Â
How else to explain the dreams he keeps havingâ€”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 himâ€”not disgust, not horror, but excitement?Â
Â
As Bryan and his longtime partner, Lawrence â€œPookieâ€ 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 boyâ€”a boy who is gripped by the same dreams that haunt Bryan.Â Meanwhile, a shadowy vigilante, seemingly armed with superhuman powers, is out there killing the killers.Â And Bryan and Pookieâ€™s superiorsâ€”from the mayor on downâ€”seem strangely eager to keep the detectives from discovering the truth.Â
Â
Doubting his own sanity and stripped of his badge, Bryan begins to suspect that heâ€™s stumbled into the crosshairs of a shadow war that has gripped his city for more than a centuryâ€”a war waged by a race of killers living in San Franciscoâ€™s unknown, underground ruins, emerging at night to feed on those who will not be missed.Â
Â
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 dangerâ€¦and that he may be the only man giftedâ€”or cursedâ€”with the power to do battle with the nocturnals.
Â
Featuring a dazzlingly plotted mystery and a terrifying descent into a nightmarish underworldâ€”along with some of the most incredible action scenes ever put to paper, and an explosive, gut-wrenching conclusion you wonâ€™t soon forgetâ€”Nocturnal is the most spectacular outing to date from one of the genreâ€™s brightest stars.
