Maxine Stuart, private detective, is moving to her sister's home in Maine to set up her own agency. Her partner, Stormy, is coming with her, and Maxine is desperately trying to persuade her old friend Lou to join them. A former cop and 18 years older than Max, Lou claims to be too old and burned-out to be of any use to Max. However, Max has been in love with Lou for years and is determined to prove to him that her feelings are real.

She persuades Lou to help them move, but no sooner do the three arrive in Maine than another old friend calls them for help. His teenage sister has disappeared and he needs them to find her. They travel to Endover, New Hampshire, and find themselves in the middle of what almost seems like Zombie-ville. It doesn't take Maxie and Lou long to realise that there's a vampire around. Their previous experience with vampires has taught them that not all of the breed are bad, but this one seems to be a rogue. He's holding Jason's sister captive, has the town in his thrall and seems keen on killing Lou and capturing Maxie and Stormy. In the meantime, Stormy seems to be suffering from some sort of mental disturbance - could she have been possessed by some figure from the vampire's past? And who is this vampire, anyway?

RELEASE NOTES:

A RABCK sent to MsPooh! Found this book at the local thrift store and saw it was on MsPooh's wishlist! Enjoy!

Thanks so much for the wish filler.
Much appreciated!

I am not usually a fan of vampire books, but I must say this series by Ms Shayne really grab me. I really enjoy them.

I can't wait to read others in this series. I have not been reading them in any particular order, altho with as many books as I read, it does not seem too bad.

Thanks MsPooh! :) Unfortunately, this is one of the two books I had already found elsewhere after you had already packaged them up. I think I'm going to keep this one on Mt. TBR and make my hardback copy AVL though. :)

Oh... and I love the picture you used in your first entry MsPooh... I love the movie "Spirited Away"!
