The Vampire of Western Pennsylvania - Paperback

by Steven M. Greenberg (Author)

Ace FBI Agent Sidney Braman slams against the most challenging case of his career: a bloodless body discovered in a burning house in rural northwest Pennsylvania. But what happened to the victim's blood? And the evidence points to dozens of mysterious, blood-emptying deaths occurring there. Is a modern-day vampire on the loose? Sidney is a confirmed rationalist, the last person in the world to be drawn in by a nonsensical legend. But as the bloodless corpses pile up, and every clue points to an answer impossible to accept rationally, Agent Braman begins to question his own disbelief. More alarmingly-more eerily-buried in the mysterious murderer's digital trail, he discovers the FBI's unsolved secret file detailing his own wife's decade-old brutal murder. Is there a link? Could there be? Sidney will risk his very life in finding out. Steven M. Greenberg, author of Adam's Will, Incantation (IPPY Finalist for Fiction, 2004), and Flocking, brings his medical and scientific background to bear in explaining a persistent legend that has no basis in fact.... Or maybe, just possibly, it does.
