He’s faced his past. He’s faced his demons. Now it’s time he faced the truth.

Why do they all remember the incident so differently. Did they kill the rest of the crew?

Hidden in the seclusion of the Appalachian Mountains, the remote settlements are perfect targets for those who wish to prey on the weak … the human. Hired to investigate a mysterious bloodletting case, everything indicates Edgar is dealing with a clan of mobile vampires. He can’t take the case though, his ordeal with the cult has left him close to bedridden, but that’s not the case for close friend and secret crush, Poppy.

Someone is resurrecting the dead. That’s what Edgar’s client claims. Way up in the Appalachian Mountains, far from what most folks would call civilisation, a remote community has a new preacher with some rather disturbing skills. Worse yet, his followers act more like a cult, their belief in the man behind the miracles dangerously unshakable.

Patricia Fisher wollte eigentlich nur entspannte Tage mit dem charmanten Captain Alistair Huntley verbringen – auf der Aurelia, einem Luxusliner mit Kurs auf die Karibik. Doch kaum ist das Schiff in Miami ausgelaufen, wird klar: Die Passagierliste birgt mehr als nur Sonnenanbeter. Ein Mafiaboss ist an Bord – auf der Flucht vor seinen eigenen Leuten.
