Klappentext Offering up an irresistible team of terror busters--Vicki! a female private eye who was until recently human; Mike! a Toronto homicide detective who is her ex-partner and current lover; and Henry! a vampire who writes bodice rippers--this book is a masterful blending of contemporary fantasy and the supernatural.
