And Harry only got involved as a favour to Thomas, his flirtatious self-absorbed vampire acquaintance. Thomas has a personal stake in the case Harry can''t work out, until his investigation leads him straight to Thomas''s oversexed relatives. Harry''s about to discover the skeleton in Thomas''s family closet: a revelation that will change Harry''s life for ever.Magic - it can get a guy killed.
