Antoine’s father, Charles, has been found dead, apparently killed during a botched burglary.

Hollywood, 1956. Journalist and war widow Evangeline Kilhooley is assigned to write a "star profile" of the fading actor Bela Lugosi, made famous by his role as Count Dracula. During a series of interviews, Lugosi draws Evi into his curious Eastern European background, gradually revealing the link between Old World shadows and the twilight realm of modern horror films. Along the way, Evi meets another English expatriate, Hugo Radelle, a movie buff who offers to help with her research.

In this third title in the Father Gabriel Mystery series, the detective priest is less than pleased to find himself the reluctant guest at a wealthy local family's Christmas party. Only the excellent - and probably black-market - food softens the horror of meeting the odious Victor Gladstone, veteran reporter, ardent anti-clerical, and the only witness to a war-time massacre no one wishes to hear about. When Victor is found dead on the Martin estate the next morning, the apparent victim of an unfortunate accident, Gabriel once again finds himself drawn into the mystery.

¡Una guía para acompañar y apoyar a quienes recorren el camino de la infertilidad! Valió la pena es un libro honesto y conmovedor, que nos invita a entender todas las dimensiones de esta enfermedad. "¿No era que todo partía con una semilla? Eso es lo que nos dijeron, lo que nos mostraban los libros y lo que nos explicaron en clases, pero ni nuestros papás, profesores, o ginecólogos, incluso, nos educaron sobre la infertilidad. Nadie nos preparó nunca para vivir la infertilidad ni para el impacto de darnos cuenta de que no todo parte de una semilla, sino que tener un hijo implica muchísimo más que esa sencilla analogía".
