A part-time job directing Dracula at Sussex Academy turns into a full-time obsession when Brooke Roberts finds a body on campus. This isn't just any body. It belongs to Nina Powell, a stunningly attractive African American artist, activist and teacher at this private academy for the offspring of the rich and powerful. The students thought Nina was amazing. Their parents, the school board and the administration-not so much.

Brooke's challenges are daunting enough without the added burden of dealing with grieving students and hysterical parents. The kid who plays Dracula won't follow directions, the stage manager's father is trying to shut down the production and a silent enemy is warning her to keep out of the investigation. But when she inadvertently stumbles upon conflicts of interest within the police department, she's forced to get involved.

Before long she's face-to-face with an outraged radio talk show host, a white-supremacist hate group and a mysterious cult whose midnight rituals raise more questions than they answer. Meanwhile, a killer is watching, and like Dracula, he, she or it is thirsty for blood.

Undead All Over is the second novel in the Brooke Roberts Mystery series, preceded by Wishing You Harm.
