The Joe Pitt Casebooks are an ongoing series of supernatural noir thrillers written by American author Charlie Huston. Each casebook chronicles Joe Pitt's life as well as his struggles in the underground of vampire clans of New York. At first Pitt is an unaffiliated vampire, living in between the cracks by doing jobs for various clans in exchange for blood and freedom. However, as the series progresses, this shifts and Pitt's life evolves with each book.

[edit] Clans

The Coalition
The Coalition is the first group we're introduced to in Already Dead. They're the largest and most powerful of the clans with the most resources and people overall. They seem to focus on a more dominant, mafia style of ruling compared to the others. While it isn't clear who runs the Coalition, Dexter Predo is one of their high ranking members.

[edit] Main Characters

Joe Pitt (Birth name: Simon) (Age: )
Joe Pitt is the main character of the series. In the beginning of the series, Pitt is an unaffiliated vampire who gets by doing odd jobs for the different clans of New York. However, by the end of the first book, Pitt has pretty much pissed the Coalition off, causing him to be a marked man. By the end of the second book, No Dominion, Pitt has joined Terri Bird's group, giving him immunity from the Coalition due to treaties and the want to avoid a war. However, in the third book, Half the Blood of Brooklyn, Pitt leaves Bird's group in an aggressive fashion and pisses the Enclave off as well, making him a marked man again, by most of the big clans of New York.
