Simon Kirby-Jones is not your typical British sleuth.
Probably because he’s an American, southern born and bred
and...dead. A vampire comfortably ensconced in the English
village of Snupperton Mumsley, Simon has kept his
discerning neighbors in the dark. Barring an overdose of
garlic, he’ll live forever—but his fascination with murder
will never die... It’s Simon’s esteemed reputation as an auteur that brings
him to the attention of Lady Hermione Kinsale. She needs
another speaker for her week-long writers’ workshop. Much to Simon’s surprise—and chagrin—bestselling mystery
author Dorinda Darlington appears on the list of attendees.
Simon knows first-hand how the reclusive author values her
privacy...because Simon is Dorinda. The blatant
impersonation has raised his hackles—and Simon’s fit to
kill. But someone beats him to the punch. “Dorinda” is
found dead, flattened by a stone urn pushed from the
terrace. Now cloistered with a killer, Simon tunes his heightened
senses to the movements of his fellow authors. And as the
workshop develops into a tension convention, Simon grows
more determined to take a bite out of crime—before bloody
murder claims another victim...
