Title: The Dead Travel Fast
Description: A husband, a family, a comfortable life: Theodora Lestrange lives in terror of it all.With a modest inheritance and the three gowns that comprise her entire wardrobe, Theodora leaves Edinburgh bound for Rumania, where tales of vampires are still whispered, to visit an old friend and write the book that will bring her independence. She arrives at a magnificent, decaying castle in the Carpathians, replete with eccentric inhabitants. But all are outstripped in dark glamour by the castle's master, Count Andrei Dragulescu.Bewildering and bewitching in equal measure, the brooding nobleman ignites Theodora's imagination and awakens passions in her that she can neither deny nor conceal. His allure is superlative, his dominion over the superstitious town, absolute.Before her sojourn is ended Theodora will have encountered things as strange and terrible as they are seductive. For obsession can prove fatal...and she is in danger of falling prey to more than desire.
