And Then She Returned

Tamara returned to the mist-shrouded town as a ghost of her former self.Years ago, she was the nation's star journalist who sold her integrity for a windfall. She was the woman whose pen dismantled a tribal heritage, helping to evict a tribe and bury a culture to pave the way for businessmen to flourish. Then, she vanished.Now, she is back, claiming a medical necessity for her daughter, but her arrival has triggered a landslide of violence. One by one, the men who profited from her lies are dying.At every crime scene, written in the blood, is a singular, haunting calling card: The Vampire Bats were here.As a silent stalker closes in and the body count rises, Tamara finds herself scrutinized by the police and hunted by a shadow. The killer's profile-wealthy, intelligent, and utterly heartless-fits Tamara perfectly. In this game of tiered justice, she is either the ultimate target-or the ultimate architect.Because when revenge is this deep, mercy is the first thing to burn.
