Thus Harry Keogh becomes the one man able to attempt to eradicate the vampire evil at its source.

Luckily he has a few allies - E-Branch, an organization of psychically gifted spies...and the teeming dead, for whom Harry is a ray of light in an otherwise dark existence. There are millions of dead people who would do anything for Harry Keogh.
