FOX & THE DEVIL BY KIERSTEN WHITE

Anneke has a complicated relationship with her father, Abraham Van Helsingdoctor, scientist, and madman devoted to the study of vampiresuntil the night she comes home to find him murdered, with a surreally beautiful woman looming over his body. A woman who leaves no trace behind, other than the dreams and nightmares that now plague Anneke every night.

Spurred by her desire for vengeance and armed with the latest forensic and investigatory techniques, Anneke puts together a team of detectives to catch this mysterious serial killer. Because her father isnt the only inexplicable dead body. Theres a trail of victims across Europe, and Anneke is certain theyre all connected.

But during the years spent relentlessly hunting the killer, Anneke keeps crucial evidence to herself: infuriatingly coy letters, addressed only to her, occasionally soaked in blood, and always signedDiavola.

The closer Anneke gets to her devil, though, the less sense the world makes. Maybe her father wasnt a madman after all. Diavola might be something much worse than a serial killer . . . and much harder to destroy. Yet as Anneke unearths more of Diavolas tragic past, she suspects theres still a heart somewhere in that undead body.

A heart that beats for Anneke alone.
