Count Catula

When celebrated true crime novelist Amanda Lowman is found dead just one hour after speaking to the Mystery Lovers Book Club about her chilling bestseller, The Vampire Murders, Cait Hart and her friends are once again pulled into a case that hits far too close to home.

Amanda claimed her novel was inspired by a string of unsolved killings that terrorized the region fifteen years earlier. But as Cait begins to dig into the author's past, she discovers that Amanda wasn't just writing about the murders-she may have known more about them than she ever revealed. Secrets long buried begin to surface, and a tangled web of lies, half-truths, and hidden identities stretches from the past into the present.

With suspects piling up and motives growing darker by the day, Cait realizes the old Vampire murders may not be as closed as everyone believed. And if the killer is still out there, they're willing to strike again to keep the truth from coming to light.

The deeper Cait digs, the more dangerous the investigation becomes-until she finds herself squarely in the sights of a killer who has already gotten away with murder... and has no intention of being caught now.
