Synopsis: The novel that inspired the TV series Moonlight puts a twist on the classic Dracula vampire tale and blends it with Chandler hardboiled P.I. detective fiction.

LA-based P.I. and vampire Mick Angel has been hired by a beautiful red-headed burlesque dancer to find her missing sister. But the apparently simple case of a teenage runaway is soon complicated by drug dealers, persistent cops, murder and Mick’s own past. Mick must learn the hard way what every vampire should know - nothing stays buried for ever, especially not the past.

Here are some typical discussion questions you may want to keep in mind as you read the book. You can place your hold on the book through the library catalog.

If you would like to bring food or drinks with a vampire or detective theme (no alcohol please) to the next book club meeting feel free. I will have paper products, something sweet and something salty, coffee, tea, bottled water and other liquid refreshment available. Think poker night @ Josef's! ;) See you at the next meeting!
