The truth behind Siegel’s murder is revealed, and it’s more disturbing than Braddock had
imagined. Beverly and Johnny killed Siegel and they set up Braddock to take the fall for it.
Braddock, however, refuses to accept that Beverly would frame him. Intent on proving that
Lombardo was the mastermind behind the murder, Braddock confronts him and tries to kill him.
But Lombardo flees and Braddock is left to face the possibility that he has been betrayed by the
woman he loved.

It’s June 20th, 1947. Former cop Clint Braddock is drinking at a bar on Sunset Boulevard when he gets a call from his ex-girlfriend, Beverly. Bugsy Siegel’s just been murdered, and she found the body. She’s terrified and needs his help. Fast. Braddock arrives to find the aftermath of a violent, sadistic murder. Not your typical mob hit. It almost looks like the work of…Eaters. Amidst the carnage, Braddock finds evidence that someone may be trying to pin the murder on him. Braddock is part Eater, and he’s spent years keeping his true nature hidden. But it looks like someone knows what he is, and is using it to implicate him in the biggest crime to hit Los Angeles in decades. Now, the seat of power in the criminal underworld is up for grabs, and rumors of a Vampire crime syndicate emerging as major players look disturbingly plausible. As Braddock is pulled deeper into the hunt for Siegel’s killer, he’ll find he’s either the ideal ally for the Vampire cause, or the perfect weapon to stop it. It all depends on where his loyalties lie.
