Produktbeschreibung
In prehistory when Vampires first preyed on humans, they discovered that if a Vampire transplanted the hair from a young victim's scalp onto his own head -- using a secret potion to prevent rejection of the transplant -- the Vampire's life would be extended by the years the victim's life was cut short. Periodically doing such transplants, a Vampire could achieve virtual immortality.

Press Townsend, a 32-year-old, Boston society plastic surgeon, is bald and insecure about it. He has two passions: Laura, his beautiful, moralistic sweetheart, and science. Press invents a drug that prevents rejection of hair transplants. It enables him to do excellent hair transplants from cadaver scalps, illegally obtained from morgues. Unaware he has reinvented the ancient potion used by Vampires, Press tests his drug on many bald men -- without FDA approval.

A small percentage of Press's patients experience strange character transformations. When Press gives himself a transplant from a cadaver scalp, he develops the hair donor's troubling characteristics -- he drinks to excess, becomes a brawler and cheats on Laura.

Sebastian Zander, the powerful 800-year-old Vampire ruler, believes Press's transplants and growing fame risk public exposure of the ancient Vampire secret and imperil their survival.

Will Press be able to recover his own personality? Will Laura stand by him despite his illegal activities and infi delity? How will the authorities deal with Press? What will the Vampires do?

This is the fi rst novel in The Hair Man® fantasy series.
