LONESOME DAYS SAVAGE NIGHTS MANNING FILES GN (2025)

Stu Manning always wanted to be a cop. But a terrible incident on his first beat has left him dishonored, dismayed, and barely clinging to sanity. Years later Stu prowls the streets again, not as a cop, but a scruffy private detective with one hell of a trick up his sleeve... and a monster under his skin. But when the city he always wanted to protect claims the one person who helped him survive it this far, Stu is prepared to unleash the beast he's kept inside and embark on his own road to revenge... and he gets the feeling that two graves will not be nearly enough. A supernatural hardboiled crime thriller for the 21st century.

"Stu Manning attempts to rebuild his life from the ruins of the fall of the Sala crime family and the loss of his love, Audrey. Keeping his thirst for booze, and his 'roommate's' thirst for blood in equal check, he's back to wandering the asphalt canyons of Central City as a hard-luck private eye. With the arrival of tech giant Rush Corp, run by billionaire upstart Wayland Rush, the city's fortune seems to have changed for the better. But when people start disappearing and the bodies start piling up Manning, Detective Ritchie and rookie cop Stacy begin to investigate and stumble upon a secret Rush would spare no expense, and no amount of blood, to keep in the shadows."
