    "description": "<p>From Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author Mike Omer comes the chilling conclusion to Zoe Bentley&rsquo;s decades-long nightmare. A murderer who drinks his victim&rsquo;s blood? FBI profiler Zoe Bentley and Agent Tatum Gray thought they&rsquo;d seen it all, but this young woman&rsquo;s barbaric murder is especially hard to stomach. They didn&rsquo;t expect to work this case. But vampirism aside, the murderer&rsquo;s MO is identical to that of Rod Glover&mdash;the serial killer who&rsquo;s been pursuing Zoe since childhood. Forensics reveals the murder to be his work, but not his alone; desperate to fulfill his sick purpose, he has taken on an equally depraved partner. Zoe&rsquo;s own frustration grows after another woman turns up dead and drained&mdash;and another goes missing. Time is running out: Zoe knows her own death will be the climax of Glover&rsquo;s sinister play, which has been unfolding for twenty years. To stop Glover and his vile partner, she&rsquo;ll need to plunge deep into their motives; but this means drawing ever closer to becoming another casualty of a dark, dark thirst</p>",
