Another good Lee Nez story, includes Diane Lopez, and a vampire gone mad, but driven there by a secret government agency. ( )

New Mexico state cop Lee Nez is the most qualified enforcement officer in the state to hunt down rogue vampire Steward Tanner. That's because Lee Nez is a half vampire himself. Along with FBI Special Agent Diane Lopez, Nez pursues Tanner, who's been tortured and experimented on by the government to the point of madness. Lee knows if his identity ever comes to light it could be him next in the clutches of the government. Will Nez catch Tanner before his secret comes out?

Fast plot and lots of action, but light on characterization and back story. This is the third book of the series and I hadn't read the first ones so I felt like I missed out on a lot of the background of Nez and what made his relationship with Lopez more than just working partners. I can't help it, I like character-driven books more so this was a little bit lacking for me, athough I thought the character of Nez was interesting. He just needs more fleshing out. ( )
