      The first book in a series that has a POV, Lee Nez, who is a Navajo State Police Officer, who becomes a vampire. It is set in New Mexico, and opens in 1945. Nazi spies are trying to steal plutonium. They are vampires, and one kills Lee's rookie partner and makes Lee a vampire.He gets the help of a medicine man who can reduce his vampire-ness, but not completely cure him. He can go out during the day, but he is slower than a full vampire, heals slower, and still ages - though more slowly than a human.The story then jumps to the modern day. Lee has moved around and changed identities in the past 60 years. He has been trying to track and catch the vampire who killed his partner, but has no luck. He was married to a women he loved deeply, who knew his secret, but she was killed by Navajo Skinwalkers. Lee spends the whole book mourning and it gets tiresome.He has become a state police officer again, under a new identity. He is being stalked by the Skinwalkers, and they are making a public mess that handicaps him with his superiors. Skinwalkers are Navajo witches and they can smell vampire blood. They want his blood to use in their rituals to make them immortal. They shift into animal form. and when he kills them he has large dead animals at his crime scene or naked dead humans if they shift back. Very hard to explain.Lee is placed on leave and is forced to work with the FBI. He has been using his police power to investigate some German pilots who are training at a nearby air base.Eventually Lee and the FBI agent team up. She sees the Skinwalkers and believes his story about vampires. They then work together to catch the Germans red-handed as they try to retrieve the plutonium, and to catch the Skinwalkers, who have now killed police/FBI.The story devolves into chases and battles and stories to outwit the police and FBI. Its good, but it is a little story stretched out. I would have like more meat. and more Navajo culture. The series has 4 books and I will read them, because I expect it will get better.
