Nathaniel is 22 (chapter 03), his birthday is in spring ( The Harlequin, chapter 02), and he was 21 in Blood Noir.Bullet, chapter 32: Jake says, "It may not be fixed by autumn, Anita." Anita replies, "Jake, if people keep trying to kill us for another two, three months solid, the problem will be fixed, because eventually one of us will be dead." This suggests autumn is two to three months away, placing the events of Bullet around June or July.Mephistopheles might have a "pale summer tan" (chapter 41). Richard has "summer-tanned arms" (chapter 07) and "summer-tanned skin" (chapter 08) and is "summer brown" (chapter 41). Various references to summer tans suggests the novel takes place in summer.The events of Blood Noir are referred to as having happened "this past summer", and Skin Trade, which came after Blood Noir, is said to have been almost a year ago, although this is not necessarily a contradiction if the events of Bullet are set in spring. Narcissus In Chains happened over two years ago. Matthew, who was born after the events of The Killing Dance, is now three. The book is set five years after Guilty Pleasures. The following novel, Hit List takes place in August and is a month following Bullet, placing the events of Bullet in July. There is no specific time marker in Bullet, but the novel seems to be set in late spring or early summer in the year following Skin Trade.
