It seemed an impossible dream—right up until it happened.Well, sorta happened; after all, normality is a relative thing for a vampire detective.With the final defeat of Elizabeth, Sam's world was rocked again. She lost her wings, her ability to read minds, and a particularly handy sword. Most important, though, is what she gained: an adopted daughter.That said, nothing can take away her uncanny ability to solve crimes and catch the bad guy.Now, after opening a new downtown office with the help of her daughter (who now works with her), a seemingly routine case walks in the door that soon proves that in Sam's life, nothing is ever simple. The death of a local importer/exporter appears on the surface to have been natural, but not everyone is convinced, especially a suspicious sister. Before long, Sam's got more suspects than answers, and worse, the killer knows she's closing in.. less
