But when she visits the site, she discovers a body in a coffin with puncture marks on the neck…and the autopsy comes back showing the body drained of blood! Soon the word around town is vampire!
What really happened at Waincroft Manor? Despite the return of the long-absent owner who revives decades-long family rivalries and a group of paranormal events hunters, Nora is determined to prove the murderer was human.
And that could prove dangerous because the killer is happy to stop Nora from revealing the truth.
