Private investigator Wade Griffin and Sheriff Carl Price. Life long friends, raised in the small town of Wellman in the Georgia Mountains, now turned reluctant fighters against the supernatural. In their first adventure, Blind Shadows, they faced an ancient evil and now another menace looms. It's one of the hottest summers on record in Georgia and Sheriff Carl Price is caught up in a child abduction case. He's also dealing with a law suit from a family of backwoods drug dealers who want his badge and if possible, his life. Meanwhile a distraught father hires Wade Griffin to find his missing daughter. Griffin's search leads to the one-room Church of the charismatic Reverend Lazarus Cotton, a former tent revival preacher with a dark secret. Cotton is a vampire, but the way he sees it, the good Lord has seen fit to give him eternal life right here on Earth. And he wants you to have eternal life too. Unless you're one of the unfaithful. In which case, you're food.
