The Winter Man

Nicki Chim is a forensic hematologist, one of the best her peers have ever seen. Her blood work is fast and flawless... almost too fast. And her colleagues would be very surprised to know just what tools she uses to glean such minute, dead-on details: her lips, her tongue... and her teeth. For Nicki Chim is more than just a scientist. She is a vampire. A killer is stalking the city of Washington, D.C. They call him the Winter Man. He strikes during the soft peace of snowfall, committing grisly murders with odd drugs, surgical tools, and chilling detail. The Winter Man takes his time. He cares about his work. And this winter, the snows have run deep... Chim will need all of her powers – scientific and supernatural – to find him. And her time is running short, for another snowstorm is on the way. Soon she must unlock the hidden secrets of the dead, or face a bitter winter. A winter too bloody even for a vampire...
