In 1925 Gotham, New Jersey, former police officer turned private
investigator Jackson Sergeivich Petrov must begin again after being
convicted the prior year and recently pardoned for crimes he did
not commit. Taking his first case from local retired railroad
vice-president Joshua Sloane to shadow the old man's estranged
younger wife, seeming like possible marital infidelity, Jack
discovers something more sinister scratching the surface. Aided by
intrepid social worker Annie Mertz, former Gotham Police Department
mentor turned retired book dealer Willy Krauss, and former fellow
patrolman promoted to detective Dennis Dooley, Jack shadows Helena
Egeresi Sloane and soon discovers she is not merely a young femme
fatale/golddigger. The lady is in fact a 331-year-old vampire who
claims kinship with an infamous biological grandmother, the 17th
Century Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory-Nadasy, continuing
that aristocrat's vile tradition of drinking and bathing in human
blood to maintain an extended lifespan and the bloom of youth.
Helena practices kidnapping and murder to maintain her lifespan in
the 20th Century, these acts concealed by Gotham's crime rate. Only
hereditary Russian-American vampire hunter Jack Petrov can halt
this woman's murderous blood legacy.
