  I'm stunned to learn my family's “inheritance” is servitude to an ancient, arrogant vampire. No thanks! Except now my friend might be his next meal, so I cut a deal: I’ll work for him—if he only drains the serial killers we catch. 
  I met my father exactly once—at a café in Transylvania. He went by the name "Renfield," scribbled in strange ledgers and muttered weirdly about “the master.” 
  Years later, I’m summoned to a remote castle in the Carpathian Mountains. Supposedly my father has left an inheritance.   
  What could go wrong? 
  Try everything. My “inheritance” turns out to be a new career—or should I say forced servitude: I'm to take over for my father as the next in a long line of servants to an arrogant, centuries-old vampire named Alexandru. 
  Hard pass. 
  Except Alexandru doesn’t take no for an answer. He follows me home to Ohio, where people I love are looking like dinner to him. To save them, I cut a deal: I’ll manage his vampire affairs—if he only feeds on people who deserve it.  
  Serial killers, to be exact. 
  Now my spreadsheets and his hunting skills have one goal: catch murderers before Alexandru loses control. 
  But surviving the killer might be the easy part, because even though Alexandru is a monster who sees humans as livestock, nothing in my life has prepared me for his dark magnetism...

  The thrilling return of Luca Tom Bilotta, in a breathless new novel that will keep readers hooked from the first page to the last. A high-stakes journey from Berlin to Milan and back—relentless, gripping, unforgettable. The youngest international thriller author is back. And this time, he’s taking no prisoners. 
  June 6, 1944. 
  D-Day turns into a disaster for the Allies. Nazi Germany retains control over Europe, and the world fractures into three centers of power: the German Reich, the Soviet Union, and the United States. 
  February 1962. 
  Berlin stands as the heart of a monumental and unyielding empire, but the sudden death of Adolf Hitler shatters the Reich’s fragile balance. In a climate thick with uncertainty and conspiracy, Hermann Göring is poised to seize power—but his rise is threatened by the looming shadow of Rudolf Hess, determined to keep Germany under his control. 
  Edda Göring, young and resolute, is drawn into an intrigue that will test both her loyalty to her family and her hunger for truth. 
  At her side is Francesco, an Italian partisan with whom she shares a deep bond. Together, they embark on a journey through a Germany ruled by propaganda and deception. 
  Amid twists of fate, unlikely alliances, and buried secrets, Edda will come to understand that the true enemy is not always the one in plain sight—and that the truth itself may be the most dangerous weapon of all.
