Years back, a blood transfusion with a member of the undead left Christopher Csejthe a half-vampire. Then someone cut the gas line of his SUV and then ran over him with a semitruck while he tried to get a tow. But this is the third time Chris has died. It's old hat at this point for him. Now, awakened in a world he doesn't quite recognize, he'll have to use his wits to once again keep the supernatural world at bay. Interpol is interested in some of his associations with Vlad Drakul's grandson - better known as Dracula - and a trio of witches from Greek myth want him dead - for good.
