When his ex-girlfriend shows up, a new vampire boyfriend in tow at a hip vampire club, Nick figures things really can't get any worse. It also brings Nick far too close to the life he thought he'd left behind, as a lieutenant in the White Death, the vampire criminal underground. Soon, what starts off as a simple case of a robbery gone wrong begins to look like something a lot more sinister, with much more far-reaching consequences. Nick has no leads apart from the painting itself, a murdered human, and the dead man's partner, the city's star designer and architect, an eccentric vampire named Straven. Unfortunately, by the time Nick sees it, it's already too late. That something turns out to be his latest creation, a mural of a bomb going off in downtown New York. One of those seers, an antisocial male with the annoying habit of painting things before they happen, appears at Nick's work, claiming he has something to show him. "As I have always said, if the humans take it upon themselves to kill one another, it is often best to simply stand out of the way." Vampire detective Nick knows a few seers. "This is human business," the vampire said.
