The Vampire's Valet

Death stalks the fog-shrouded streets of London. A mysterious killer is hunting down vampire familiars, driving stakes through their hearts, and cutting off their heads for good measure. Nestled in his padded, bug-infested cell at Seward's Sanatorium for the Criminally Insane, R.M. Renfield, familiar prime to Count Dracula, imagines he is safe from the scourge... Until he awakens standing over the body of his cell mate with the murder weapon in hand. Accused of the crime and unable to prove his innocence, he escapes the asylum and resumes the life he knew before Dracula. Before madness. The life of Inspector Renfield of Scotland Yard. Venturing into the seedy underbelly of the city, he hunts for the murderer amid a myriad of suspects. Is it the beautiful folklorist researching the legend of vampires? Her brutish and enigmatic chauffeur and bodyguard? A reporter obsessed with Dracula's reign of terror seven years earlier? Or the cult of vampire hunters who revere the inexplicably missing Abraham Van Helsing? As the body count of familiars serving London's vampires continues to climb, Renfield, with the reluctant assistance of his brutal master Dracula and the villainous intellect of Mr. Hyde, must put aside the safety net of madness and reclaim his former glory as a brilliant detective to track down the killer before more innocent souls are lost. International bestselling author J. Kent Holloway spins a web of mystery that's one part The Hound of the Baskervilles, one part Dracula, and a whole lot of The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, which will propel you on a spine-tingling journey into a world you only think you know.
