A cop investigating serial murders in Chicago discovers the killer he's hunting is a vampire in this urban fantasy. A serial killer is stalking the nighttime streets of Chicago. He leaves his victims with their throats torn out and their bodies completely drained of blood. He's killed dozens. His first two victims were cops. Detective Dennis Coglin is desperate to catch him before he kills again, but is this murderer just a vicious maniac, or is he something else entirely—something far beyond the power of the law and police routine? The sun will set in blood and the night will come for many more before this killer is stopped for good.

本作の真髄は、冷徹な刑事ドラマの枠組みが、吸血鬼という異形の存在によって崩壊する過程にあります。主人公が直面するのは、法や科学を嘲笑う古の闇そのものです。合理性の限界で足掻く人間の悲哀と、暗澹たるシカゴの夜景が織りなすハードボイルドな筆致は、読者の理性を激しく揺さぶります。 物語の核にあるのは、都市の深淵に潜む本能的な恐怖の再定義です。血だけでなく捜査官の正気をも啜る怪物の造形は、現代が忘却した野蛮な闇を鮮烈に浮き彫りにします。都市という迷宮で展開される、血と秩序を巡る魂の葛藤。静謐な恐怖が極限まで高まる結末まで、ページをめくる手は止まらないはずです。
