23 Hours (Laura Caxton - Vampire Hunter Book 4)

This is the fourth novel to feature vampire hunting, lesbian ex-cop Laura Caxton, and it finds Laura behind bars at Pennsylvania's Marcy State Correctional Institute, where she's serving a five-year sentence for kidnapping and torturing a sociopath who'd killed his whole family to impress a vampire. Caxton’s always been able to watch her own back – even when it’s against a cell-block wall – but soon she learns that an even greater threat has slithered behind the bars to join her. Justina Malvern, the world's oldest living vampire, has taken up residence, and her strength grows by the moment as she raids the inmate population like an open bar with an all-you-can-drink supply of fresh blood. The crafty old vampire knows just how to pull Caxton’s strings, too, and she's issued an ultimatum that Laura can’t refuse - to decide whether to become a vampire or die. Now Laura has just 23 hours to fight her way through a gauntlet of vampires, cons, and killers... 23 hours to make one last, desperate attempt at protecting the world from Justinia’s evil. Also check out the earlier novels in the series .
