Orren Merton

The Deviant Orren Merton

Eight-hundred year old German vampire Heinrich Strauss is on the run--from his past, from his crimes...from himself. He is deviant, and he knows it; a vampire can't fit into society like a normal human being, love like a normal human being...can he? Is it possible for him to transcend his parasitic nature? Or is being a monster what defines him?He tries to find solace in the small college town of Santo Paulo, when local detectives uncover the bodies of young women. They know they have a serial killer on their hands. Even with a daughter of Santo Paulo in love with him, Heinrich finds that being a vampire makes proving his innocence very complicated indeed...
