About This Book

The first victim was 'Chalkie' White found with a cricket stump pierced through his heart in the Old Rutherfordians Cricket Club practice nets.  Sergeant Archie Tibble was the first to mention vampires, but not the last. Detective Inspector Steve Winwood was not impressed.

The second victim was Charlotte Lamb found on the centre pitch naked and strangled with an Old Rutherfordians tie but not before drinking a cocktail popularly known as a silver bullet. Thoughts of werewolves started to ciculate.

Winwood did not believe in vampires or werewolves but the third victim Bank Manger John Cash was killed with a dish of takeaway duck heavily laced with garlic and rat poison.

There was no obvious connection between all three until the body of Hilary Ackroyd, Chaiman of the Board of Trustees of Rutherford Museum was seen to be carried away in an ambulance having been electrocuted.

Arthur Conley better known as Noah for his restoration work on the Museum after a flood was convinced he was the real target

In the background was local millionaire businessman Derek Stilllman, who runs a software security business and Cameron Walsh a clerk at the bank that holds Stillman's account. Then six million pounds went missing and Winwood found himself working with Bank Inspector Anna Trent who opened up whole new financial worlds.

Winwood was immediately cheered by the emergence of an old fashioned crime that had no connection with the supernatural, the letter 'C' or a pack of Happy Families playing cards.

The trail led to the most unassuming person in town who had flown under everyone's radar, themselves unaware how they had managed to convince everyone else that they were a vampire slayer.

Note: For those unfamiliar with the game most references to cricket are explained in the text.
