Over the past six months, Rachel Forsythe's perfect life has descended from the ideal to the tragic. The younger of her two daughters is dying of cancer. Neither God nor medical science has provided a cure. Milada Daranyi, chief investment officer at Daranyi Enterprises International, has come to Utah to finalize the takeover of a local medical technology company. Bored with her downtown hotel accommodations, she rents a house in the Salt Lake City suburbs. Her neighbors believe her to be a beautiful and accomplished young woman. But Rachel senses something about Milada that leads her in a totally unexpected and very dangerous direction. Rachel's suspicions are right. Milada is a vampire, and possibly the only person in the world who can save her daughter's life.
