false <![CDATA[Blood Pact (Victoria Nelson, #4)]]> 141454 8 It began with the call no daughter ever wants to get, the call that told private investigator Vicki Nelson her mother had died. Mrs. Nelson's coworker at the Queen's University Life Science Department told Vicki that the cause of death was a heart attack, and that they'd be waiting for her to arrive in Kingston to make the funeral arrangements. But what started as an all too normal personal tragedy soon became the most terrifying case of Vicki's career. For when Marjory Nelson's body mysteriously disappeared from the funeral home, Vicki, her sometime lover and fellow investigator, vampire Henry Fitzroy, and her former homicide squad partner, Detective-Sergeant Mike Celluci, realized that there was something unnatural about her mother's demise. Vicki swore she'd find the culprit, and see that her mother was properly laid to rest. But what she hadn't counted on was that someone at Queen's University seemed determined to keep Mrs. Nelson on the job -- alive or dead! 2542059 book 1993 Blood Pact (Victoria Nelson, Book 4) total:659|5:157|4:257|3:210|2:30|1:5| 659 2508 932 32 3 0 false false Tue May 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 20:09:48 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 00:48:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Apr 07 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Dec 21 19:46:15 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 19:51:44 -0800 2008 2 Blood Ties, I've gone and plowed through all five of the Blood books by Tanya Huff.
