Late-night radio show psychologist Rain Sommers is used to the crazies who call in to rage from the back alleys of the French Quarter and the shadows of the bayou. But one caller's chilling obsession with her and her long-ago murdered mother—an iconic singer beloved among the city's Goth community—has even the jaded Rain running scared as a sadistic serial killer known as the Vampire prowls New Orleans.
FBI agent Trevor Rivette is convinced her midnight caller and the killer are one and the same. As it becomes disturbingly clear that the Vampire has a sick bloodlust only Rain can satisfy, she allows Trevor to get closer and closer. But he soon discovers that his secretive past and troubled present are intertwined—and that he may die trying to keep Rain's fate out of a madman's control.
"A smooth prose style and an authentic Big Easy vibe distinguish Tentler's debut. . . . While thriller fans will find much that's familiar, from the vampire-like killings to the dependable FBI guy falling for the pretty woman in jeopardy, the shivers are worthy of a Lisa Jackson." —Publishers Weekly
"Filled with suspense and mystery and centered around a compelling plot with a terrifying villain and two main characters readers will come to care deeply about. This is one riveting read." —RT Book Reviews

A smooth prose style and an authentic Big Easy vibe distinguish Tentler's debut. Dr. Rain Sommers, the host of Midnight Confessions, a New Orleans late-night radio talk show, was two years old in 1981 when Gavin Firth, Rain's British guitarist father, murdered her mother, Desiree Sommers, a popular goth singer, then killed himself. Special agent Trevor Rivette of the FBI's Violent Crimes Unit has been hunting a serial killer dubbed "the Vampire" (aka Dante), who's slain five women across the U.S. and is now in New Orleans. The sadistic Dante slashes his victims' throats and leaves a signature rosary just like one Rain's mother wore in some publicity photos. After killing three goth scene teens, Dante targets Rain. While thriller fans will find much that's familiar, from the vampire-like killings to the dependable FBI guy falling for the pretty woman in jeopardy, the shivers are worthy of a Lisa Jackson.
