From NEW YORK TIMES and USA Today bestselling author Colleen Gleason, the long-awaited spin-off of the international bestselling Gardella Vampire Chronicles. Amid the glitzy age of Jazz, when gangsters and bootleggers control the cities, there lies another, more insidious threat ... the undead. Macey Gardella is a typical young woman of the Roaring Twenties: she works a job, has her own flat, and loves to dance the Charleston. But when a mysterious man named Sebastian Vioget informs her she belongs to a family of vampire hunters, Macey is stunned and disbelieving. Yet, strange and frightening things begin to happen, and when Macey comes face-to-face with one of the fanged creatures, she has no choice but to believe Sebastian. And when she learns his own soul depends on her willingness to carry forth the family legacy and hunt the undead, Macey capitulates and joins the fight. As she begins to learn about her new life, Macey meets the handsome newspaper reporter known as Grady—who seems to know more about vampires than he should. When he begins to ask too many questions, she has to juggle her strong attraction to him with the need for secrecy. Slipping into speakeasies and sampling bootlegged whiskeys, dodging gangster gunfire and trying to keep her nosy landlady from finding the stakes in her flat, Macey Gardella must navigate through a world of stunning violence, passionate romance, and dark betrayal...

La saga di Macey Gardella Colleen Gleason, blasonata scrittrice e bestselling author per il New York Times, presenta il secondo volume della sua Chicago Trilogy. Fra i gangster e i bar clandestini della Chicago degli Anni Venti, Macey Gardella si trova invischiata in una strana alleanza con Al Capone. Il boss indiscusso della malavita di cittadina la esibisce in giro per la città come una delle sue tante pupe, mentre lei tenta di tener fede al suo giuramento di dare la caccia ai vampiri. Ha dovuto, suo malgrado, imparare una dura lezione fatta di perdite e tradimenti, quella connaturata alla scelta di accettare la sua eredità di famiglia e diventare una Cacciatrice. Si trova così costretta ad abbandonare amici, colleghi e persino Grady, l’intrepido giornalista d’assalto che sembra seguire ogni sua mossa. Ma quando, a fianco di Sebastian Vioget e Chas Woodmore, si troverà a dover affrontare il famigerato e temibile Nicholas Iscariot, anche Macey sembrerà sul punto di cedere. E quando sarà richiesto il sacrificio estremo, chi continuerà a impugnare il paletto e chi invece fuggirà?

The third and final installment in the Macey Gardella: Vampire Hunter trilogy, set in Prohibition era Chicago. Macey finds herself facing the violent and malevolent Nicholas Iscariot without two of her most devoted allies and friends.
