Fugue: [ fyoog ] noun Psychiatry. A period during which a person suffers from loss of memory and often begins a new life. ------------ You think your memory stinks? Meet Harry VanAlt. An apex predator with fading memories of mortal life. Along with his memories, his exalted vampiric powers have faded to vampire-lite. Great taste, less exciting. Along comes Dr. Lizbet Mitchell, a police profiler who has not yet opened the right door on her future. Thirty-four and questioning, when Harry rescues her from a rogue vampire, she invites him into her button downed life. Her fascination meets his reticence as flashes and images from some other life intrude on his own. A 16th-century ceremony reveals Harry's memories and unlocks his powers. When Lizbet challenges Harry and they take steps toward a new and powerful immortality, there are two flesh and blood details to reconcile. Harry closes the door on 1951 and settles a score.
