Close to dusk, on a stretch of beach near a Tampa Bay pier, Zane finds the mutilated body of his girlfriend, Rose. When he returns a few moments later with a cop, the body is gone; only her shredded clothes remain. No trace of blood can be found. No one believes Zane until a chance encounter with Sartak, an 800-year-old Mongol vampire who agrees to help because he loves a good mystery. This page-turner has lots of fast-paced action. |
