Publisher's Synopsis
The time is January 1942 and Toby Peters' services have just been retained by the private eye's strangest client, Bela Lugosi. Over a decade after frightening millions of people with his depiction of the notorious Count Dracula, the actor is now being stalked by a very real, very deadly, all-too-human creature of darkness intent on punishing him for perceived slights made against the vampiric race. Before Peters can get a handle on the situation, though, his business suddenly doubles in sound and fury when William Faulkner, the nation's most distinguished author gone Hollywood, is accused of killing a movie agent he hardly knew. Can even Peters find the connection between the two cases before he falls prey to the sinister machinations of the children of the night...?
