Blood on the Mountain - Burton, David

. .

Résumé :
Vampire friends Justine Croft and Simone Gireaux watched in helpless rage as their desperate hunt for newly awakened witch Teresa Diaz's abducted daughter Antonia ended with the abduction of Teresa herself. But Simone, Justine and Justine's mortal lover, cop Harry Frazier, have no intentions of conceding defeat. The three of them become international hunters, following clues and hints from Columbia to Germany to Switzerland to Austria. At every step they are barely ahead of a vengeful pursuer: the deceptively petite but ruthless and powerful ghost vampire known only as The Girl, who cannot be detected by vampire senses. Ahead lies a confrontation with the ancient vampire Rubicon, who holds Teresa and Antonia captive and is using them in an experiment which, if successful, could bring about the end of life as mortals know it on earth. With the stakes raised higher than they've ever known, Justine, Simone and Harry find unexpected allies along the way, some of them bringing haunting echoes of the past to Simone. Will they find Teresa and Antonia in time--not only to save them, but to prevent the seeding of an apocalypse? Picking up the storyline from Blood Justice, Blood on the Water and Blood on the Bayou, Blood on the Mountain continues award-winning author David Burton's exciting saga of love, loss and vengeance.
