In my prequel sci-fi thriller novel Elixir Vamp, the story continues where SEARCH, a major conglomerate, has made Chicago, Illinois, a place to regenerate its diabolical plan of invading Earth. These chameleon creatures from a disparate world decided to create something more sinister so they could annihilate the humans. The aliens continue to frame pearly smiles with a different, malevolent ploy against the humans, this time using greed. In accomplishing this task, the aliens strategically replaced officials in key positions with humans under their control. This eerie calamity spares nothing for the earthlings but one disturbing inevitability and that was for the aliens to divide and conquer. This time the discovery of the aliens' presence occurred by a group of Chicago's finest police homicide detectives.
