Arkeley leads Caxton to a tomb in Gettysburg recently excavated by a local archaeology professor. While the town, with its legendary role in the Civil Wars worst battle, is no stranger to cemeteries, this one is remarkably, eerily different. In it lie 100 coffins99 of them occupied by vampires, who, luckily, are missing their hearts. But one of the coffins is empty and smashed to pieces. Who is the missing vampire? Does he have access to the 99 hearts that, if placed back in the bodies of their owners, could reanimate an entire bloodthirsty army? How did the vampires end up there, undisturbed and undiscovered for 150 years?

The first book in the Laura Caxton Vampire series from the author of the Monster Island trilogy.All the official reports say that vampires are dead--extinct since the late 80s, when FBI agent Arkeley defeated the last vampire in a fight that nearly killed him. But when state trooper Laura Caxton calls the FBI looking for help in the middle of the night, Arkeley is unsurprised to hear that it sounds like a vampire attack. Hes been expecting such a call to come eventually. Sure, it has been years since any signs of an attack, but Arkeley knows what most people dont: there is one left. In an abandoned asylum she is rotting, plotting, and biding her time in a way that only the undead can. Laura Caxton is out of her league on this case and more than a little afraid. Arkeley made it clear there is only one way out. The worst thing is the feeling that the vampires want more than just her blood. They want her for a reason, one she cant guess; a reason her sphinxlike partner knows but wont say; a reason she has to find out-or die trying.
