Blood Harvest

'Doc's peddling bootleg liquor in an illegal speakeasy. You're carrying a gun for him, Ace — which makes you no better than any other gun-moll.'

Dekker is a private eye; an honest one. But when Al Capone hires him to investigate a new joint called 'Doc's', he knows this is one job he can't refuse. And just why are the Doctor and Ace selling illegal booze in a town full of murderous gangsters?

Meanwhile, Bernice has been abandoned on a vampire-infested planet outside normal space. There she meets a mysterious stranger called Romanadvoratrelundar — and discovers an ancient and malevolent power, linking 1929 Chicago with a lair of immortal evil.

The consequences of this story are inextricably linked to events in the Doctor's past. The full story is revealed in the first of a series of Missing Adventures — Goth Opera by Paul Cornell.

Full-length, original novels based on the longest running science-fiction television series at all time, the BBC's Doctor Who. The New Adventures take the TARDIS into previously unexplored realms of space and time.
