Reese Tarrant is a former homicide cop who ends up in Santa Marina, California after taking an imposed early retirement after killing Richard Lamb, a suspected serial killer who was also known as the “Anaheim Vampire.” However, his arrival in Santa Marina coincides with an investigation of murders that point to wealthy Ajax Rasmussen and the local police ask for his help. During the investigation, Reese meets Rusty Webber, an archeologist employed by Ajax to uncover an indian burial ground.This book has it all—crime, suspense, horror, romance. Trolson is a fantastic writer, giving us an array of intriguing characters, fast-paced action and a twisting plotline. Ajax is one of the most interesting vampire’s I’ve read about in a long time. He’s wicked, elegant and manipulative and even better—he doesn’t sparkle in the least! Gory, graphic and never-boring, this is a great read for vampire fans and readers of hardcore crime / mysteries.
