No man can outlive the sins of his past… On a cold October evening in 1987 parallel lives once separate come crashing together. One body, two skulls, and the flaming ruins of a house bring Christy Lawless Shaughn and his employer vampire hunter Mr. V to Rottingdean. The mystery is only the beginning as bodies begin to pile up and more fires light up the night time sky. And what does this all have to do with Mr. V’s step-son David Beste at the centre of these mysterious incidents? After a fatal night at the disco Exit to Heaven, Christy finds himself facing the reality that his life may never be the same again. Francis Tenn’s love life once again causes heartbreak and jealousy. Jemmy, Francis’s younger lover, is on the outs perhaps for good this time. When Francis’s old friend and former lover Simon Thorsby comes to him for help, there is a chance to renew their relationship. Meanwhile from the shadows his every move is being watched. Is it Simon’s then lover, or perhaps his mother’s now ex-boyfriend looking for retaliation, or could it be a new mystery man setting his sights on Francis to be his next conquest? Victims or villains? Malachy Thorsby and Kitto Surrat are in very deep trouble. Once human, both are vampires discovering the terrible truths of their new lives. Lost, betrayed, and forgotten, the two have no one they can rely on. They have no friends, merely familiar predators at every turn. Must they learn to trust Mr. V and Maxmillian Fairmount-Kensington III, vampire hunters of all people to protect them or have they tricked the old men into setting them free? Evil happens when good men fail to act… FOR MATURE READERS ONLY. Also included with the novel is a glossary of slang and colloquialisms at the back.
