Debbie Fall has not had the quietest of lives so far. In fact she creates and attracts drama like a drama-magnet. Being a fairly new vampire of the Red Thirst doesn't make her one to back down from situations. Things are not going to get any easier for her when the mysterious Agency captures and recruits her to be their new assassin, targeting drug barons and others as being the only humans she can feed on in exchange for her freedom from persecution. Then she crosses paths with the notorious Fatima Gonzales, leader of the local Night Dreamers and later she's reunited with faces from her past and that will lead to a spectacular slide from helper of humanity into its bane. And then Malice turns up...
