Vampire Ajax Rasmussen drags an archaeologist and former police detective to his town and gives them random clues to who and what he is and what he plans to do in the form of dead bodies. The detective follows his leads and the archaeologist unravels the clues from the past. Their sleuthing eventually leads them to an inevitable showdown where the vampire expects to win.The story is compelling as are the main characters, though it could benefit from editing and some judicious page cutting. The villain's motivation for tainting the blood supply needed some definition as well. Should the author choose to do this, the book could go from just okay to really good!Overall, though, this story was interesting enough to read to the end, which was wrapped up nicely.If you're looking for an atypical vampire story with a bit of detective/mystery thrown in for good measure, then this book is definitely worth the 99-cent price.
