Homicide detective Bryan Clauser is sacrificing his brain. How else to clarify the dreams he retains having - dreams that mirror, with impossible reliability, the gruesome serial murders occurring all over SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA? How else to clarify the thoughts these dreams provoke in him - not disgust, not horror, but pleasure? As Bryan and his longtime partner, Lawrence 'Pookie' Chang, check out the murders, they learn that things are even stranger than they at first seem. For the patients are all foes of a apparently ordinary young guy - a guy who's gripped by the same dreams that haunt Bryan. In the meantime, a shadowy vigilante, apparently armed with superhuman power, is out there eliminating the killers. And Bryan and Pookie's superiors - from the mayor on down - seem to be strangely wanting to keep the detectives from finding the truth. Doubting his own sanity and stripped of his badge, Bryan commences to think that he's stumbled into the crosshairs of a shadow conflict that has gripped his city for more than a hundred years - a conflict waged by the competition of killers surviving in San Francisco's undiscovered, underground ruins, growing at night to prey on those who'll not be skipped. And as Bryan learns the truth about his own close contacts to the killings, he discovers that those who subject most to him are in mortal risk...and that he may be the sole man gifted - or cursed - with the power to do struggle with the nocturnals. Featuring a dazzlingly plotted unknown and a terrifying descent into a nightmarish underworld - long with some of the most incredible action moments ever put to newspaper, and an explosive, gut-wrenching conclusion you won't soon ignore, Nocturnal is the most amazing outing currently in one of the genre's brightest superstars.
