Description

In a hospital where four elderly patients die in the same chilling way, Su-Yeon, a lone detective who refuses to accept “loneliness” as an explanation, begins to suspect the truth is being buried. Dismissed by her precinct and haunted by the fear for her own beloved friend on the sixth floor, she follows the evidence into a city of silences—only to meet Violette, a mysterious vampire hunter with a personal stake in the case. As a fifth victim falls and the bodies are found drained of blood, Su-Yeon is forced to weigh grief, skepticism, and the possibility of something supernatural against the very human cost of isolation. Blending a fast, razor-edged murder mystery with queer romance and sharp social commentary, this novel explores how marginalization and loneliness can turn deadly—while still leaving room for love, connection, and the courage to look closer.
