Great book. I enjoy historical fiction and this is a doozy. Although set in somewhat the present day, it is a tale of a grandfather, mother and father, and daughter who all become involved in a search for the historical model for Dracula - Vlad Tepes the Impaler, a prince of what is now Romania but then was Transylvania and Wallachia. Although Vlad was killed in battle in 1476, the historians stumble across hints and legends that suggest that he may still be alive.
The story wanders between present and past as the daughter of the historian begins to learn more about the obsession that has consumed her family for generations - especially when her father, like her mother and grandfather before him, disappears....
Intriguing.
