"With just one tiny exception, J Gifford is an ordinary, decent, small-town kind of guy. He pays his bills on time. He waters his lawn. He treats his neighbors and the folks with whom he does business with kindness and respect. He's good to children and small animals. The tiny exception? He's a vampire. Born in 1920, and "brought over" shortly after D-Day in a little French village, 90-year-old Gifford still looks and feels 24. He has friends, a place in the community, a thriving business, and a big orange tabby cat named Fiddlestring. He knows where all the good restaurants are. He's very tidy about that "tiny exception" and has never killed anybody. All he lacks in his life is the beautiful girl who made him what he is today -- and then mysteriously vanished."--Page 4 of cover.

Noir. Bien frappé. Une vision toute particulière de la justice et de la morale a valu à Billy Lafitte d'être viré de la police du Mississippi. Il végète aujourd'hui comme shérif adjoint dans les plaines sibériennes du Minnesota, avec l'alcool et les filles du coin pour lui tenir compagnie, les laboratoires clandestins de meth pour occuper ses journées. Si Billy franchit toutes les lignes, on peut néanmoins lui reconnaître une chose : il a un grand coeur. Ainsi, lorsqu'une amie lui demande de tirer d'affaire son fiancé, impliqué dans une sale affaire de drogue, c'est bien volontiers qu'il accepte. Quelques jours plus tard, Billy est arrêté par le FBI, enfermé dans une cellule au milieu de nulle part, et sommé de s'expliquer sur tous ces cadavres qui se sont soudain accumulés autour de lui.
