About this eBook
The star crime-solving pair of Dr. Jake Rosen, world-famous pathologist, and top litigator Manny Manfreda, return in a gripping new thriller.
New York City is on high alert for a serial killer—a strange kind of thief who stalks his victims for the purpose of extracting a vial of blood, earning him the tabloid nickname “the Vampire.” As the attacks escalate to torture and then to murder, Jake and Manny begin to suspect there is a connection between the killer’s seemingly random victims. But how do they link it to a case that Manny’s been working for a kid whose high school prank-gone-wrong has earned him the moniker the Preppy Terrorist? They soon discover that their case is a tragic tale of corruption interlaced with cover-ups, conspiracies, death squads, and dictators who committed crimes that to this day go unpunished.

It has a somewhat decent plot, although one can easily predict who the killer is before it is revealed. Also, one of the things that originally bought me to this book was reading Remains Silent and the dynamics between Jake and Manny which, sadly, were lackluster at best in this story. There's too much time spent on seconder characters too, that ultimately bring nothing of substance to the story.
