The Necropolis Enforcement Files is a short urban fantasy series by Gini Koch, starting with The Night Beat in 2012. The series is set in a city populated by supernatural creatures, where enforcement agents work to maintain order among the undead and other paranormal residents.
The Night Beat introduces readers to this world through the eyes of agents who walk a beat in a city that never truly sleeps, because many of its inhabitants are already dead. Koch brings the same sense of humor she applies to her Alien series, but the tone here is darker and leans more toward noir. Night Music, the second entry, continues the story.
At just two books, this is one of Koch’s shorter projects, but it offers a different flavor from her science fiction work. Readers who enjoy supernatural detective stories with a comedic edge will find it worth a look.
