LV48
ByPublisher Description
New Hopeland City may be the birthplace of Tech Shifter gear, but it isn't the only place that likes to blend technology with folklore. Now, a new nightmare is stalking the streets…
When PI Cassie Tam is attacked on the way home one night, she expects the police to get involved. What she doesn't expect is to be forced into acting as bait to lure out a lunatic in a tech-suit that's literally out for blood. But past actions have consequences, and doing so may be the only way she can get a clean slate from the city's law makers.
If only that didn't mean having to face down a wannabe vampire.

“I am thoroughly impressed with the 3rd book in the Cassie Tam Files. LV48 was gripping, fast-paced and just as entertaining as the first two. This might be my favorite of the three.
I’m a huge fan of Matt Doyle’s writing. He has a really great talent in writing mystery in a Sci-Fi story. I was invested and surprised in the end.
There are a lot of characters, which could get confusing at times, but every one was very well developed. I love the characters that have shown up in each story, because they have all grown every book.
I highly recommend this one. It’s a fast-paced, sci-fi thriller with cool technology and interesting characters.

“LV48 left something to be desired. The books itself was not externely throughout, but had a good concept for a novel. I would still read this thrilling and exciting book that kept me guessing. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a thrilling mystery book.
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.”

Vampires in New Hopeland?
LV 48 is the third of the Cassie Tam files by author Matt Doyle and follows the cases of Chinese-Canadian private investigator Cassandra Tam. Picking up shortly after the close of The Fox, The Dog and The King, life for Cassie has settled down a bit and she manages to get an evening out with her girlfriend, Lori. But when a quiet evening out turns into a harrowing encounter with a mysterious creature, Cassie realizes that there will be no rest for her. Upon finding out that she has become the latest in a series of bizarre “blood muggings”, Cassie once again finds herself working with the cops in order to track what they have termed the “LV” or light vampire. Teamed up with the head of the Tech Shifter division, Cassie enters a dangerous game of cat and mouse with her most terrifying adversary to date. As the threads start to unravel and the mystery of the “light vampire” becomes clear, it comes as no surprise to Cassie that the motivation of the LV revolves around the criminal underground, but how deep do the tentacles go and how many more people will fall victim to these tech-enhanced nightmares before they are apprehended?
With Cassie’s third case closed, we see a return to the more tech-heavy Noir feel that we saw in “Addict”. The LV’s introduction as another player on the already bizarre field of New Hopeland’s inhabitants when you think about it really is a natural progression due to the availability of tech in the city. But with people having the ability to literally become whoever (or whatever) they want to become with the addition of a few prosthetics also comes the challenge of determining the motives and identity of the person within. Cassie once again finds herself relying on her contacts both within the police force and the criminal underground in order to crack the case. LV 48 is probably my favorite in the series thus far, but that’s not saying much because all the books in this series are excellent. With the case of the light vampire closed, Cassie can get back to normalcy; or can she? I cannot wait to see what Doyle and New Hopeland have in store for this P.I. when her next case comes knocking.”
