Hunting Prince Dracula
by Kerri Maniscalco
Book 2 in Stalking Jack the Ripper
A gothic historical mystery that pairs forensic science with slow-burn banter in Dracula's castle. Audrey Rose and Thomas Cresswell's intellectual chemistry is the real draw, especially when superstition and science start circling the same body.
