Tanya Huff's Blood Books series follows Vicki Nelson, a former Toronto homicide detective forced into private investigation work by a degenerative eye condition, as she takes on cases that repeatedly turn out to have supernatural causes. Blood Price introduces her uneasy partnership, and eventual entanglement, with Henry Fitzroy, the illegitimate son of Henry VIII turned centuries-old vampire and romance novelist, as the two investigate a killer stalking the city. The series pairs procedural detective work with vampires, demons, and other supernatural threats across Toronto's ordinary streets, and later inspired the TV series Blood Ties.
