Whispers at Dusk

The Blackbird Trilogy #1 / 3 ✓
by Heather Graham
Whispers at Dusk (The Blackbird Trilogy #1) by Heather Graham
Unrated

When serial killers run rampant across Europe it’s up to Blackbird, the Krewe of Hunters’ international  operatives, to stop them.

When darkness falls, there’s nowhere to hide.
Four bodies have been discovered along Europe’s riverbanks, placed with care—and completely drained of blood. Pinpricks on their throats indicate a slender murder weapon, but DNA found in the wounds suggests something far more sinister. Tasked with investigating, the FBI recruits Agents Della Hamilton and Mason Carter to Blackbird, an international offshoot of the Krewe of Hunters. If you want to catch a vampire killer, you need agents who can speak with the dead.  

The pair travel to Norway, where the shadowy forests of Lillehammer reveal a gruesome scene. The killer is thirsty for more victims, and the bloodless trail soon leads Della and Mason to a group that believes drinking blood is the key to immortality. To catch the culprit of such an intimate crime, the agents will have to get close. Mason’s already lost one partner; he’s not ready to risk Della as bait. But sometimes justice requires a sacrifice…

Heather Graham

Heather Graham

Heather Graham doesn’t just write stories—she builds haunted landscapes where history lingers and danger hides in plain sight. With a career spanning over three decades and more than 200 novels to her name, she has become a distinct voice in the realm of romantic suspense and paranormal thrillers. Her worlds are layered with eerie charm: think Civil War ghosts, cursed artifacts, and FBI agents navigating crimes that don’t quite follow the rules of reality.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Graham’s fascination with the strange and supernatural took root early, shaped by a rich backdrop of folklore, Southern Gothic atmosphere, and a deep love of theater. Before becoming a full-time novelist, she worked as an actress and a singer, and that flair for performance still pulses through her writing—dialogue that crackles, pacing that never drags, and scenes that feel made for the screen.

What sets her work apart is how effortlessly she blends suspense with the spectral. In her long-running Krewe of Hunters series, for example, law enforcement collides with the paranormal, creating a tense, often unsettling blend of crime-solving and ghostly encounters. Her characters are rarely just investigators—they’re believers, skeptics, survivors, and sometimes even mediums, each carrying their own shadows into the story.

Recognition has followed her quietly prolific output: Graham has landed on The New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists multiple times, and she’s a recipient of the Romance Writers of America’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Yet despite the accolades, her work remains deeply grounded in the idea that human emotion—love, fear, loss—is what gives both mystery and magic their weight.

Whether she’s weaving a tale set in the sultry streets of New Orleans or a colonial mansion in Virginia, Graham’s stories linger where the past refuses to stay buried, and where every creak in the floorboards might mean something more.
