Description
"The same spellbinding detail that Harstad fans ate with relish in Carl's debut shocker, Eleven Days --yummy.". "Downright chilling...a terrific read.". "Another engrossing entry in one of the best new police procedural series.". HTML:CODE 61: maintain radio silence. someone may be listening.
Investigating the apparent suicide of a colleague's niece, Iowa Deputy Sheriff Carl Houseman is startled to uncover a group that transforms the dark fantasies of vampire legend into grisly reality: they show more ritualistically drink small amounts of one another's blood. As Carl is drawn deeper into this unnerving world, it becomes clear that the dead woman may have been the victim of a twenty-first-century Dracula.
The prime suspect, Dan Peale, is a sinister presence within the group--a man some say drinks blood and never, ever dies. It's an outlandish, heinous theory, but then suspicions are bolstered by rumors of a card-carrying vampire hunter who is also pursuing Peale. All too soon, Houseman finds himself scrambling to track a vampire--before he kills again.

Iowa Deputy Sheriff Carl Houseman begins a case with a peeping tom and follows it through to a possible vampire. Very likable characters, fast-paced, interesting look into small town police. Includes a glossary of cop terms, along with a breakdown of the meanings behind ten codes such as 10-4 (acknowledged) and 10-61 (personnel in area, frequently used to indicate that a civilian can hear the radio).
Recommended.

The sheriff's niece is murdered and her four housemates seem oddly unaffected. Where is the blood? Eventually Deputy Carl Houseman and his staff solve the crime, linking it to a man who believes he is a vampire. Will he be caught before he comes back to practice his craft on another housemate?
