    Homicide detective Bryan Clauser is losing his mind. How else to explain the dreams he keeps having—dreams that mirror, with impossible accuracy, the gruesome serial murders taking place all over San Francisco? How else to explain the feelings these dreams provoke in him— not disgust, not horror, but excitement? As Bryan and his longtime partner Pookie Chang investigate the murders, they learn that things are even stranger than they at first seem. The victims are all enemies of an outwardly ordinary young boy—a boy who is gripped by the same dreams that haunt Bryan. Meanwhile, a shadowy vigilante, seemingly armed with superhuman powers, is out there killing the killers. And Bryan and Pookie's superiors—from the Mayor on down—appear strangely eager to keep the detectives from discovering the truth. Doubting his own sanity and stripped of his badge, Bryan begins to suspect that he's stumbled into the crosshairs of a shadow war that has gripped his city for more than a century—a war waged by a race of killers living in San Francisco's unknown, underground ruins, emerging at night to feed on those who will not be missed.  And as Bryan learns the truth about his own intimate connections to the killings, he discovers that those who matter most to him are in mortal danger… and that he may be the only man gifted—or cursed—with the power to do battle with the nocturnals. Featuring a dazzlingly plotted mystery and a terrifying descent into a nightmarish underworld—along with some of the most incredible action scenes ever put to paper and an explosive, gut-wrenching conclusion you won't soon forget—NOCTURNAL is the most spectacular outing to date from one of the genre's brightest stars.

    In the first episode of NOCTURNAL, Paul Maloney was once "Father" Paul Maloney, but his sordid deeds meant a defrocking, a fall from grace. Now Paul thinks people are after him, and he seeks sanctuary at a church that was once his. San Francisco homicide inspectors Bryan "The Terminator" Clauser and Pookie Chang usually work the night shift, but the brutal murder of a well-connected businessman has them on days. Maloney, Clauser, and Chang are about to meet, and not in a way that will make anyone happy.
