A Cup Full of Midnight
At thirty-six, private detective Jared McKean is coming to terms with his unjust dismissal from the Nashville Murder Squad and an unwanted divorce from a woman he still loves. His son has Down syndrome, his best friend is dying of AIDS, and his teenage nephew, Josh, has fallen under the influence of a dangerous fringe of the goth subculture. When the fringe group's leader-a mind-manipulating sociopath who thinks he's a vampire-is found butchered and posed across a pentagram, Josh is the number one suspect. Jared will need all his skills as a private investigator and former homicide detective to match wits with the most terrifying killer he has ever seen. When he learns that Josh is next on the killer's list, he will risk his reputation, his family, and his life in a desperate attempt to save the boy he loves like a son.
