Lawson is a Fixer, which you could assume from reading the name of this series of books by Jon Merz. What that means, though, is that he's responsible for maintaining the Balance between the human and vampire worlds; the vampires are terrified of what will happen if word gets out they exist, so they have people like Lawson to eliminate any vampiric threats of exposure. Threats like Cosgrove, a serial killer who wants to overthrow the Balance and watch the world burn.

Overall I'd call this a fun read. Lots of pulpy elements, written like a summer action movie, and with a fair amount of humour. At the same time, though, it falls into cliche at times, and has some issues with pacing. If your interests fall at the intersection of “vampire horror” and “spy/espionage”, it might be worth your time, though.
