Description

Archaeologist Carrie Norton makes a startling find in a historic New York City site: the remains of a Civil War-era murder victim. Detective Max Slattery sees something more-uncanny parallels to a recent series of brutal slayings. What seems impossible becomes terrifyingly real as Carrie and Max's investigation unearths a conspiracy between the living and the dead nearly two centuries in the making-one that has yet to claim its final victims.

A very enjoyable take on the vampire story. Not quite to the level of The Historian, but similar in that it is a good mix of the present day, history, & the various legends surrounding Dracula (& vampires in general).

Recommended, especially for fans of vampire lore & legend.
I just finished this book and thought it was a very enjoyable romp through Civil War era New York City! The historical viewpoint reminded me of Caleb Carr or Harold Schechter, and I of course am very fond of vampire novels. Probably the only thing I found a little bit tiresome was how the book actually ended. Other than the ending I enoyed this one quite a bit.
