The Presidential Campaign Trail, 2012: A political operative and a volunteer are brutally murdered while caught in a compromising position. Written in their blood on the wall of the crime scene: IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK.
In the third Nathaniel Cade novel--after The President’s Vampire and Blood Oath--the country is in the midst of a Presidential race.
A political operative and campaign volunteer are found slaughtered, in a compromising position. At the crime scene, written in blood, is a message: "It’s Good to be Back!" This message is from a centuries old creature, only known as the Boogeyman.
The murders continue, all involving individuals caught in a sexual act. Cade and his human sidekick, Zach, must find a way to stop the Boogeyman before he reaches his next intended victim, the President himself, all the while trying to keep the press from connecting the murders.
Preventing them from succeeding is a former member of a covert group with a mission to bring down the U.S. government using supernatural means, the Shadow Company. They are set on doing what they can to allow the Boogeyman to follow through on his mission to kill the President, the first step in bringing the country to its knees.
Unlike the previous two, Red, White, and Blood has a bit more political angle to it, the Presidential campaign playing a key role in the storyline--as our protagonist is on the road with the President during his re-election campaign. Farnsworth succeeds at painting a completely plausible, albeit supernatural, scenario. Red, White, and Blood is an exhilarating tale with a great finish.
