Description

Listen to its haunting, angelic sound After centuries of life, the Vampire has just two passions left- blood and music. The blood of innocents is plentiful and easily attained-it is his other passion that torments him. Many years ago he owned and lost a violin that sang with the voice of the angels. Now this unearthly monster will do anything to press the instrument once more against his neck. As it summons a hellish creature of the night Maggie O'Hara was a talented if unremarkable violinist-until the day her grandfather gives her a violin he had brought home from World War II. For fifty years the magnificent instrument sat untouched in an attic, but from the moment Maggie hits the first note, her playing is transformed. With this remarkable violin in her possession, all of her dreams are eerily becoming reality. But she has no way of knowing that a nightwalker is tracking her down-and that he has every intention of taking back, through bloodlust and terror, what is rightfully his. . . . THE VAMPIRE'S VIOLIN
