📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A private investigator confronts a vampire killer in this paranormal mystery.

This book offers a unique perspective on the genre by focusing on a detective who actively denies the existence of the very threats he investigates. The plot centers on Tempest Michaels, who faces a master vampire in his hometown. Higgs structures the narrative to challenge Michaels' worldview through concrete evidence, such as bite marks on victims. The story balances high-stakes supernatural conflict with mundane interactions, like tea with family. This approach creates a distinct tone that separates it from traditional ghost stories. Readers looking for a straightforward horror tale might find the detective framework unexpected. The work stands out for its specific focus on a skeptical investigator in a paranormal world.
