Thus, instead of focused on a new tale for our hero (and his colleagues) we're just into part two of the origin story for our new vampire detective. Still, his past wouldn't stay buried, and people Maureen knew are in town looking from Flemming, and for answers. He hoped she'd come back, but eventually he had to stop posting noticed for her in newspaper personals (an arrangement they'd come up with years prior) as he had found a new girl to devote himself to, the lounge singer Bobbi, and was setting up a new (un)life for himself in Chicago. She had to flee suddenly, and Jack never found out why, and in the five years since Maureen left Jack hadn't heard word one from him.
He dated his previous lady, Maureen, for a while and they were deeply committed to her. Instead, though, we're still very focused on Flemming's past. One would expect that, coming out of that, we'd find a new adventure to explore in the second novel of the series. And, of course, there was the mystery about how he died - information he didn't remember at the time - that started up his first case as a "private agent" along side his new friend, Escott. Because he already had dated a vampire a few years prior (and thus why there was vampiric cells in his body that could cause the transition when he died) he already knew the basics of what he needed as a vampire, but we still got to see him go through all the experimentation to really figure out his new life. We woke up with him on the night he died and came back as a vampire.
Starting into the "Vampire Files" series with book one, Bloodlist, we ended up getting a bit of an origin story for protagonist Jack Flemming.
