Bloody Valentine - Rex Carlton Mysteries

The dark nights of Buffalo are complicated when a woman is found dead behind a goth club. The clues lead to a real vampire coven inside the city. Struggling bike messenger Rex Carlton ends up in the middle of the investigation and is left for dead.

Rex worked in IT, a job he did not care for. Part of the reason was the sales manager, who despised him and made him hate his job. His girlfriend also dumped him, leaving his eccentric neighbor and best friend Neumann the only solace in his miserable life. When he read there was an opening for a bike messenger in Buffalo, he decided that had to be better than what he was doing.

It turns out riding a bike for a living isn't as easy as he thought. As he second guesses his decision, he ends up tangling with one of the Buffalo vampires who put a target on his back. Will the vampires kill him before the bike does?
