Transylvania Red

Former CBS news correspondent Bert Quint's second novel, the testosterone-heavy thriller Transylvania Red, has ""less angst and more fun"" than his Rough Cut from a Bygone War: it's the story of a network news team hitting the Romanian pavement for a story on a vampire theme park. But the reporting gets dirty not to mention dangerous as the team uncovers murder, avarice and unscrupulous political wheeling and dealing, and also learn that modern-day capitalists can be at least as scary as centuries-old bloodsuckers.
