Wrath of a Minor God Anthony Hains

Special Agent Cole Nightshade has learned how to use the telepathic abilities that have protected him since childhood to apprehend the most brutal of criminals. His latest case involves a serial killer who's been christened the Vampire of Charlottesville thanks to a unique MO: biting the necks of victims before murdering them and taking body parts as trophies. While investigating one of the crime scenes, Cole is confronted with the vision of an angry, disheveled young man who doesn't want him to get too close to the truth. David Fairchild is a freshman at the University of Virginia. Smart, likable, and good looking, he's the sort who seems destined to achieve great things. But David has a history of disturbing incidents, kept hidden by his well-to-do family, that are precipitated by a man who speaks to him in his mind. As the investigation heats up, Cole and David's paths are set on a collision course. Now Cole must put the pieces together before David carries out the will of his secret friend-and the Vampire of Charlottesville claims another victim.
