Fifty years later, Agent Pendergast and his partner, Agent Coldmoon, are dispatched to the ghost-haunted streets of Savannah, Georgia, where victims are being discovered completely drained of blood. As terror grips the city and revives whispered legends of the \"Savannah Vampire,\" Pendergast unravels a startling connection between the modern bloodless corpses and the nation's only unsolved aviation crime.
