Vampires aren't as scary as the serial killers they hunt. Mathias Hawthorne's first memory as a vampire was his beloved Victoria limp in his arms, her blood dripping from his mouth. Despising the demon inside, he channels his anguish into bringing justice to the true monsters-those who hunt their fellow human beings. He becomes a crime scene investigator, combining his vampiric abilities with modern science to track them down. The idea of helping one of the villains is revolting...until it becomes necessary.
The daughter of a wealthy and powerful CEO has been abducted. A ransom letter demands that her mother step down within 48 hours or the girl will die. The CEO can't relinquish control, not even to the police, and co-opts the investigation to ensure her enemies pay. It's all Mathias can do to keep from draining the vicious woman on the spot.
Mathias is determined to protect the innocent, even if it means going up against his superiors. As he scrambles to follow the clues, allies turn into enemies, and each lead uncovers another layer of deception. The closer he gets to the culprit, the clearer it becomes the case isn't what it seems-and something more sinister waits in the shadows.
