Defence attorney Celeste Maher has seen her share of gruesome cases, but nothing as disturbing as the crime her client, Velimir Radojka, is accused of.

After Celeste is unexpectedly arrested for her client's murder, his boyfriend, Detective Shea Tyrone, gets on the case. Soon, Shea has several problems to deal with: bloodless corpses, street gangs and rumors of human sacrifice.

Something connects all this to the Count, and Shea is determined to find out why.

Entangled in a web of ritual murders spanning two continents, Shea and Celeste uncover disturbing connections to the crime lord himself... and a Serbian vampire legend.
