THE PLOT THICKENS LIKE BLOOD

Deep  beneath a Balkan mountain, an ancient tribunal confronts an even more  ancient evil. Alarmed about the future, the magistrate sends his  enforcer, Svan Coltello, on a new hunt — but this time not for prey.

Meanwhile,  in her Los Angeles County courtroom, Judge Julia Townsend confronts the  worst of humanity. Having worked tirelessly to achieve this dream job,  she clings to her reputation for no-nonsense decorum, a firm sense of  justice, and ethical integrity. Balancing her work, her troubled  daughter, and a fresh crisis of her own leaves her no time for playing  games. Yet, reluctantly, she agrees to discuss her judicial philosophy  with a disturbingly alluring "news reporter" named Svan Coltello.
Judge  Townsend never imagined how quickly her life could become entwined with  the primeval system of justice that Coltello really represents. Lured  by Svan’s eloquence and charisma, she finds herself confronting a  life-or-death dilemma.
Should she leave her old life behind for a new  courtroom, where justice is swift, blood cannot lie, and guilt is  determined beyond all shadow of a doubt? Not while her daughter’s safety  still hangs in the balance . . .

The story shows how parallel  systems of justice, in both the "mortal" and the "undead" worlds, can  cooperate. With its themes of both romance and professional  collaboration between human and vampire, Midnight Justice brings an intriguing new perspective to the vampire novel.
