Trail of the Zombies — David Gordon

Why do we need to investigate The Utopia Institute, Mr. Simon? For the first time since coming into their office, Simon struggled to lift his head, the bullet hole in his eye becoming more evident. To find out who killed me. Thus begins the next thrilling adventure for the Nightfall Detective Agency. Vampire Detective Tori Jacobsen and Werewolf Detective Bram Mueller are drawn into the shadowy depths of the Utopia Institute to both solve the murder of the late Ira Simon and the reports of abuse of the Native American Students and those deemed unfit to attend there. Set in 1929, just outside Marana Arizona, the pair unearth a web of dark secrets. The Institute is a front for a sinister plot. Evil Forces, once thwarted in their pursuit of the Eye of Aten, are now bent on creating an army of Zombie slaves from the people held at the Institute. The ultimate goal? A hidden Aztec treasure that could fund their designs for world domination. Tori and Bram must race against time to prevent the ushering in of a new Dark Age of Terror. If they fail, the world will descend into chaos and repression. The stakes have never been higher.
