It began with the kind of call no daughter ever wants to get, in this case a call from the Queen`s University Life Science Department to tell private investigator Vicki Nelson her mother had died. But what started as an all too normal personal tragedy soon became the most terrifying case of Vicki`s career. For when Marjory Nelson`s body mysteriously disappeared from the funeral home, Vicki immediately called on the two men in her life-vampire Henry Fitzroy and homicide detective Mike Celluci-for help. Vicki swore she`d find the culprit, and see her mother properly laid to rest. But what she hadn`t counted on was that someone at Queen`s University seemed determined to keep Mrs. Nelson on the job-alive or dead! Watch Vicki, Henry, and Mike every week on Lifetime`s original new series, blood ties, based on Tanya Huff`s blood books.
