Hard-nosed, irascible investigative reporter Carl Kolchak is convinced that a serial killer on the loose in Las Vegas is a vampire, but he has a hard time convincing the incompetent police that he is right. The vampire is a rather nasty brute named Janos Skorzeny. He not only kills for blood; he also keeps a personal blood bank of victims imprisoned in his hideout. This book is the basis for the TV movie The Night Stalker, starring Darren McGavin. |
