Attempted Immortality

LIVING FOREVER IS A PAIN IN THE NECK

Withrow Surrett, cantankerous vampire lord of North Carolina, is passing the long winter nights of the off-season in the sleepy resort town of Sunset Beach. He and his cousin Roderick aren't on vacation, however: they're hunting the elusive elder vampires who scheme to come out of the shadows and take over the world using a secret superweapon.

Withrow and Roderick - and their team of friends old and new - soon learn there are stranger things afoot than vampires' machinations among the dunes of Sunset Beach: mysterious mortals, twisted sorceries, and fleeting apparitions. Through sabotage, espionage, and bare-knuckled brutality Withrow must find and stop the elder vampires before they play the ace up their sleeve!
