In this modern-day thriller born of ancient and deadly obsessions, a beautiful young blues singer learns that she is on a list to be murdered with a stake through her heart. As she frantically scrambles for her life, her world collides with that of Nick Teffinger who is deep in the throes a dark hunt for a multi-state killer. (385 pages).
Initially published under a different name more than a decade ago as the 6th Nick Teffinger thriller written by R.J. Jagger, this book is now being reintroduced to the market in both digital and print versions.. We hope you enjoy it. It was written back when vampire books were popular and has a slight vampire nod to it even though it's a realistic modern-day thriller with compelling characters.

"A terrifying, gripping cross between James Patterson and John Grisham. Jagger has created a truly killer thriller." J.A. Konrath
"As engaging as the debut [Witness Chase], this exciting blend of police procedural and legal thriller recalls the early works of Scott Turow and Lisa Scottoline." Library Journal
"The well-crafted storyline makes this a worthwhile read. This novel has a riveting plot." Kirkus Reviews
"Verdict: The pacing is relentless in this debut, a hard-boiled novel with a shocking ending. The supershort chapters will please those who enjoy a James Patterson--style page-turner" Library Journal
A "clever and engrossing mystery tale involving gorgeous women, lustful men and scintillating suspense." Foreword Magazine
"Part of what makes this thriller thrilling is that you sense there to be connections among all the various subplots; the anticipation of their coming together keeps the pages turning." Booklist
"This is one of the best thrillers I've read yet." New Mystery Reader
"A throwback to the era of Mike Hammer and Shell Scott, [Nick] Teffinger is old school all the way--and that means good retro fun." Booklist
This book "is creative and captivating. It features bold characters, witty dialogue, exotic locations, and non-stop action. The pacing is spot-on, a solid combination of intrigue, suspense, and eroticism. A first-rate thriller, this book is damnably hard to put down. It's a tremendous read." Foreword Reviews
