Living. In a small Alaskan town, a boy is found with his throat ripped out and all the blood drained from his body. The inhabitants of Deadhart haven't seen a killing like this in twenty-five years. But they know who's responsible: a member of the Colony, an ostracized community of vampyrs living in an old mine settlement deep in the woods. Detective Barbara Atkins, a specialist in vampyr killings, is called in to officially determine if this is a Colony killing - and authorize a cull. Old suspicions die hard in a town like Deadhart, but Barbara isn't so sure. Are they hunting a bloodthirsty monster...or a twisted psychopath? And which is more dangerous?". 20240529.
