From Death to Life

Zorrick Lassiter, the main character, has a life altering confrontation with a vampire while searching for a missing friend in an abandoned New York tenement building. Upon his return back to life three nights after he was bitten and killed during his encounter with the night stalker, he begins a night of wondrous discovery until he discovers the cursed side of a vampire; sunlight.
During the course of his new existence, Zorrick enlists the aid of a forensic pathologist who has had previous experience with creatures such as himself and who might have a means for reversing his hellish new existence.
Zorrick must also stay one step ahead of a street savvy police detective who is hot on his trail along with the all of the NYPD as well.
In the face of all of this, Zorrick must control his dreadful appetite for human blood for the next week after he is first bitten or he will give himself fully to the eternally dark existence of a blood thirsty night stalker. The doctor has only that small amount of days to perfect a way to reverse this condition or he will lose his friend.
Zorrick has one final encounter with the vampire that first turned him. And Zorrick has only the short span of seven days (or nights) to try regain his humanity while battling the darkness which threatens to consume him.
