This book sits at the crossroads of horror and crime/detective genres. In this world vampyrs are real and live around humans. They need protection from the government or humans would wipe them out given the opportunity.
When a child is murdered by what appears to be a vampyrs, Det Barbara Atkins is called into a small town in Alaska to investigate. There are many layers and nefarious things going on in Deadheart AK.
The tension builds throughout the story and the conclusion comes quick and satisfying.
