The only way to stop a bad guy with fangs is a good guy with a stake.
And Simon Helsing believes he was put on this Earth to do the job. He is
on a single-minded crusade to hunt down vampires and kill them in their
lairs. But what if vampires aren't real?
The only thing that Detective Todd Carrow believes is that the bodies
turning up in Colorado Springs are the work of a lunatic. Are they
strange and sadistic gang murders? Or does someone actually believe in
the existence of vampires?
Lexi Tarada wants to believe. As a teenager, she had an experience she
still can't explain. Now, her website sifts through the bizarre
phenomena and the crazy conspiracy theories to find out what is - or
might be - real. Who should Lexi believe? The detective on the case of
the sadistic murders...or the guy who drives stakes through the hearts
of the victims?
As Lexi gets drawn deeper into Helsing's bizarre world, and Carrow
follows an increasingly baffling set of clues, fact blends into fiction,
and the line blurs between what is imagined and what is real. And that
may be exactly what the vampires want.
"Stake is a dark and dangerous tale that is perfect for fans of The
X-Files! Devious, twisted, always surprising, and deeply unnerving.
Highly recommended!" (Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling
author of V-Wars and Lullaby)
