The first novel for adults by hugely acclaimed YA writer Marcus Sedgwick: a gripping saga of love, revenge and obsession --- and vampires.

In 1944, just days after the liberation of Paris, Charles Jackson sees something horrific: a man in a dark tunnel, apparently drinking the blood of a murdered woman. Terrified, he does nothing, telling himself afterward that worse tragedies happen during war.

Seven years later he returns to the city --- and sees the same man dining in the company of a fascinating, beautiful young woman. When they leave the restaurant, Charles decides to follow.

A LOVE LIKE BLOOD is a dark, compelling thriller about how a man's life can change in a moment and about where the desire for truth --- and revenge --- can lead.
