The Presidential Campaign Trail, 2012:
A political operative and a volunteer are brutally murdered while caught in a compromising position. Written in their blood on the wall of the crime scene: IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK.
And with that, a centuries-old horror known only as the Boogeyman returns to taunt Nathaniel Cade, the President’s Vampire. Against the backdrop of the 2012 presidential race, with the threat of constant exposure by the media, Cade and Zach must stop the one monster Cade has never been able to defeat completely. And they must do it before the Boogeyman adds another victim to his long and bloody list: the President of the United States himself.

"Got this as a stocking stuffer for Xmas. Didn't know what to expect, but it was a good read. Moved along at a good pace and was different from what I usually read. There was enough shooting and gore and a good mix of story and character. Zipped through it."
— Doug (4 out of 5 stars)
“Christopher Farnsworth’s premise—that the presidents of the US have, starting with Andrew Johnson, had a vampire at their beck and call—is simply fun. And in Farnsworth’s strongest book yet in the Nathaniel Cade series, Cade encounters an old enemy he’s killed over and over in various guises…none other than the Boogeyman. The ingenious part of the book (using various notorious serial killers and their quotes to confirm the existence of such a creature) is—well, I’m envious. Cade continues to be one of modern literature’s most frightening vampires, and this is an excellent read.”
— Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author“[A] high-octane…supernatural thriller…Farnsworth keeps the twists and explosive violence coming, keeping readers in suspense until the very last page.”
— Publishers Weekly" So I have 11 library books checked out--all with a deadline. And I have this book (on Kindle) with no deadline. Guess which I chose. "
— Mike, 2/13/2014" This is the third in the series and I must say really depressing. Who would want Zach or Cade's lives? I will use James Bond and an example, he's a spy always undercover, but he always gets the girl, has lots of money and drives fast cars. Now you have Zach who only gets pity sex, drives crappy cars and really kind of a loser because the only friend in his life would really rather eat him then talk to him. Cade's life or death is just as depressing since his true nature as a vampire is to murder indiscriminately and he's being reined in by a blood oath that tests his boundaries all the time. Then of course the blood oath that holds Cade is between he and the president and really would you want that much power in one persons hands because unlike nuclear weapons or declaring war the president doesn't need anyone's permission to use Cade. Farnsworth is keeping the reader guessing with this one since the ending was such a surprise and don't mean in a good way. "
— Debbie, 2/4/2014" Once again Christopher Farnsworth delivers successfuly... To say Nathaniel Cade series is an amazingly enjoyable, would be an understatement. The book leaves you wanting more, especially the surprise twist in the tale, and yes, it really was a twist. "

— Wharkins, 12/24/2013" What stupid ending, calling for an equally stupid follow up book. "

— Connie, 7/24/2013" Third book in the series. Bloody fantastic. Fast paced action, mixed with horror. vampires the way their suppose to be. Cannot wait for the 4th book. "
— Phil, 4/29/2013" Almost as great as the first book in the series with action and humor. The cliffhanger ending makes you eager for the next book. "
— Ivy, 3/25/2013" I could not put it down. the third book in the series and all of them as good as the previous one. it mentions some things that happened in the second book that I could not remember but it is still a great book. "
— Armando, 12/12/2012" I did not enjoy this book as much as I did the two previous novels. I'm not sure why. Perhaps the premise is wearing thin. I also felt that there was less from Cade's perspective. "
— Dave, 10/28/2012" Not my favorite of the series, but fun to read about Cade again. "
— Amy, 10/4/2012" Can't wait for more sequels! "
