THE VAIN #1\\n

Publisher: Oni Press\\n
Cover Price: $3.99\\n
Release Date: October 14, 2020\\n
Chicago, 1941. A blood bank is held up in a robbery, but no cash is taken-only blood. It\'s the latest in a string of similar crimes and FBI Agent Felix Franklin is certain it\'s part of a wider plot. But the truth is much more sinister than he could imagine. The four robbers-who call themselves The Vain-are vampires: immortal, physically powerful, and after decades of honing their skills, practically untraceable. But in a world that is rapidly changing, stealing blood is harder every day and with each decade that passes, Agent Franklin inches closer to the truth. Eliot Rahal, Emily Pearson, and Fred C. Stressing kick off a series that spans nearly a century of wild eternal youth and reckless abandon across history.\\n

DEATH ON THE NILE\\n
Black Dog & Leventhal Publishe\\n
The tranquility of a luxury cruise along the Nile was shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway had been shot through the head. She was young, stylish, and beautiful. A girl who had everything . . . until she lost her life.

\\n\\n

Hercule Poirot recalled an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: \\u201cI\\u2019d like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger.\\u201d Yet under the searing heat of the Egyptian sun, nothing is ever quite what it seems.

\\n\\n

A sweeping mystery of love, jealousy, and betrayal, Death on the Nile is one of Christie\\u2019s most legendary and timeless works.
