The Nosferatu Scroll — James Becker

Bohemia, 1741: A noble lady is laid to rest-with her heart cut out and a covering of heavy stones. Whatever it takes to keep her from rising from the grave...

Venice, 2010: While on a much-needed vacation, Chris Bronson and Angela Lewis discover a desecrated tomb containing a female skeleton and a diary that is centuries old. Scribbled in Latin, the pages tell of a scroll that holds the key to answering an ancient secret. Soon, the bodies of young women begin surfacing, all killed in a ritual manner. When Angela vanishes, Bronson is drawn into the hunt for a demented murderer who torments his prey on the eerie Isle of the Dead- and into a deadly conspiracy hundreds of years in the making.
