John Redlaw, policeman to the damned, marginalised vampires, comes to
America to uncover a devastaing conspiracy. Emigrant vampries are the
bane and burden of the modern world, they have few friends and only one
defender, Redlaw, a man conflicted in his loyalties to humanity and to
justice. The eastern seaboard of the USA is experiencing the worst
winter weather in living memory, and John Redlaw is in the cold white
thick of it. He's come to America to investigate a series of vicious
attacks on vampire immigrants - targeted kills that can't simply be the
work of amateur vigilantes. Dogging his footsteps is Tina "Tick"
Checkley, a wannabe TV journalist with an eye on the big time. The
conspiracy Redlaw uncovers could give Tina the career break she's been
looking for. It could also spell death for Redlaw.
