OF LIONS AND HEROES

    It is ironic that in the news people deeply concerned with the humane treatment of animals have found a cause célèbre in the hunt and killing of a wild African lion in Zimbabwe this week, when in the latest Kathryn Desmarais Gothic Mystery, Bloodtrail, Kate is faced with just such a situation - a group of people who hold life cheap and have placed a weakened and starved lion into an arena with two healthy, heavily armed men bent on torturing him for the pleasure and entertainment of onlookers.

    Read Bloodtrail and see how our heroine deals with the situation!

    "Bloodtrail" takes Kate to sin city, Las Vegas, in search of a misguided runaway teenage girl. Kate, who is still struggling to come to terms with what she has become, runs afoul of a cabal of strange subhumans who feed off of the basest, most prurient emotions of human-kind. These creatures may seem harmless at first, but underestimating them may just be the last mistake Kate ever makes.

BLOODFLOW, A Gothic Mystery by Kevin Paul Tracy

My new release, "Bloodflow," will drop Wednesday, December 18, 2013. This is the first in a gothic mystery series featuring one of the toughest, smartest, and sexiest female protagonists I've ever written: Kathryn Desmarais. Kate is a private investigator for International Investigations, Inc., or Tripple-I, a large private investigation firm in Manhattan. She's tough, savvy, an expert in martial arts.

In this first book, the search for an ancient casket leads Kate into the midst of a battle between two undead souls, each backed with armies poised to wage war. One, the most powerful vampire to ever stalk the Earth, has plans for Kathryn, plans that have nothing to do with happily-ever-after. Now, everyone she loves is in danger, and the only way to save them is to either find a way to stop the coming conflagration before the city itself is bathed in blood...or pick a side.

I'm calling this a "grown-up" gothic horror story. You won't find any melodramatic teen angst dripping from these pages. And the monsters you find between these covers aren't watered-down shadows of the legends from which they are spawned. These are the real, full-blown evils under your bed. They are the genuine hungry hell-beasts lurking just behind the threshold of your half-open closet.

I hope you enjoy reading "Bloodflow" as much as I enjoyed writing it. As my editor described it: "The cool factor is very high in this one!"

And check out the bitchen trailer!
