Former spy James Asher hunts down a serial vampire killer in Edwardian England, in bestselling author Barbara Hambly's thrilling historical urban fantasy.
Once a spy for Queen Victoria, James Asher has fought for Britain on every continent, using his quick wits to protect the Empire at all costs. After years of grueling service, he marries and retires to a simple academic's life at Oxford. But his peace is shattered one night with the arrival of a Spanish vampire named Don Simon Ysidro.
Don Simon can disappear into fog, move faster than the eye can see, and immobilize Asherβand his young brideβwith a wave of his hand. Asher is at his mercy, and has no choice but to give his help. Because someone is killing the vampires of London, and James Asher must find out whoβbefore he becomes a victim himself.
