Sealed away through unending centuries in a sarcophagus
never meant to be opened, he had patiently waited for the
opportunity to live again, for the chance to feed on the
unwary and grow strong. Now, at last, the waiting had come
to an end. Brought to the Egyptology Department of
Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum, the seals and spells that
imprisoned him shipped away by his discoverers, he reached
forth to claim the minds and souls of the unsuspecting city
dwellers, to begin building an empire for himself and his
god. And only three people had even the hint that anything
was wrong.
For Henry Fitzroy, 450-year-old vampire, it began with a
haunting, inescapable image of the sun, a terrifying symbol
of death to one such as he. Fearing for his sanity, he
called upon his sometime-lover and comrade in supernatural
investigations, ex-cop Vicki Nelson, for help. And even as
the two struggled to cope with Henry's obsession, Vicki's
closest friend and former partner, Police Detective Mike
Celluci was following up on two mysterious deaths at the
museum, certain he was looking at murders, not accidents --
and equally convinced that the killer was a mummy brought
back from the dead!
