ALREADY DEAD is the first Joe Pitt Casebook. An introduction to his world and its denizens. Joe goes hunting for a zombie, a fucking shambler lurching around the East Village carrying its filthy bacteria and causing problems. As if that wasn’t shit-job enough, he’s alos tagged to find the run-away daughter of a high society couple with links to Joe’s underworld. Fists, bullets, knives and poison: they all find their way into Joe’s hide before it’s over. And a girl. Yeah, man, there’s always a girl. And she gets under his skin too.
