When the Vampire Hunter Becomes the Hunted

A serial killer is loose in Bangkok. His killing spree has lasted more than a hundred years. By accident expat journalist Martin Larue discovers a scandal involving corrupt cops and murdered Thai prostitutes. His newspaper article brings him to the notice of, and a visit from the 150 year old charming vampire - Ramonne Delacroix.

Ramonne is sophisticated and worldly. Bangkok supplies him with both his sexual pleasures and his vampire food. In Martin he finds a kindred spirit, and an unlikely bond is formed. Intoxicated by the vampire's powers, Martin is on the verge of crossing to the dark side himself. Ultimately he learns a lesson in the preciousness of life's every moment - from a most unlikely source – a vampire.
