Dead City - Joe McKinney

A half-decent zombie book is a real rarity so it was a real pleasure to come across this first in a trilogy completely by accident.

McKinney apparently is a cop so the prime character in this boom comes as no surprise and there are several long moments of fairly pointless detours into copworld but on the whole this is a fairly enjoyable little first night of infection romp as the hero cop attempts to get home to his wife and kid.

There's a fair bit of schmaltz and no real depth to what plot there is but it is an entertaining enough way to pass a couple of hours.
