A Rush of Wings

In this lush and lyrical debut novel in the vein of Laurell K. Hamilton and Anne Rice, an FBI agent on the hunt for a serial killer crosses paths with a mysterious vampire. His name is Dante. Dark. Talented. Beautiful. Star of the rock band Inferno. Rumored owner of the hot New Orleans nightspot Club Hell. Born of the Blood, then broken by an evil beyond imagination. His past is a mystery. FBI Special Agent Heather Wallace has been tracking a sadistic serial murderer known as the Cross Country Killer, and the trail has led her to New Orleans, Club Hell, and Dante. But the dangerously attractive musician not only resists her investigation, he claims to be “nightkind”: in other words, a vampire. Digging into his past for answers reveals little. No social security number. No known birth date. In and out of foster homes for most of his life before being taken in by a man named Lucien DeNoir, who appears to guard mysteries of his own. His future is chaos. What Heather does know about Dante is that something links him to the killer and she’s pretty sure that link makes him the next target. Heather must unravel the truth about this sensual, complicated, vulnerable young man who, she begins to believe, may indeed be a vampire in order to finally bring a killer to justice. But Dante’s past holds a shocking, dangerous secret, and once it is revealed not even Heather will be able to protect him from his destiny.
