Blaze carries murder in her heart. Her father lies dead and she knows his killer. She plots merciless revenge until a stranger calls with a voice like silk and danger. He shares her thirst for retribution. Blood calls to blood, and together they will paint the night red with justice. Detective work turns deadly when vampires walk among mortals as an accepted minority. One bloodsucker hides behind this new tolerance, leaving corpses in shadows. A female vampire joins forces with a human detective to stop the killing. Their hunt leads them through pleasures and perils that belong to the darkness. Annie Carmichael brushes dirt from ancient stones at an Anasazi site. Her archaeological dig uncovers more than pottery shards and bones.
