Blood Pact
The restless dead...
It began with the call no daughter ever wants to get, the call that told private investigator Vicki Nelson her mother had died. Nrs. Nelson's coworker at the Queen's Univeristy Life Science Department told Vicki that the cause of death was a heart attack, and that they'd be waiting for her to arrive in Kingston to make the funeral arrangements.
But wat started as an all too normal personal tragedy soon became the most terrifying case of Vicki's career. For when Marjory Nelson's body mysteriously disappered fromt he funeral home, Vicki, her sometimes lover and fellow investigator, vampire Henry Fitzroy, and her former homicide squad partner, Dective-Sergent Mike Celluci, realized that there was something unnatural about hier mother's demise. Vicki swore she'd find the culprit, and see that her mother was properly laid to rest. But what she hadn't counted on was that someone at Queen's University seemed determined to keep Mrs. Nelson on the job - alive or dead.
