'1905, France. A city falls prey to a series of vicious and bizarre murders the local police are at a loss to explain. All Constable Alaire Belfort wants to do is catch the killer and keep his sister safe. He finds a fast friend in Hannibal du Noir, a scholar of the mystic and self-proclaimed vampire hunter. But it seems to Belfort that du Noir knows far too much about the murders, and about Belfort himself, for comfort.
'As hysteria grips the city, du Noir seems to be the only one who can stop the deaths - but can Belfort trust du Noir to be the city's saviour? Or are vampires a convenient excuse for murder?'
