An obsession with a beautiful serial killer entangles a vampire hunter’s daughter in an immortal sapphic romance in this enthralling gothic fantasy from the No.1 New York Times bestselling author of Lucy Undying.

An obsession with a beautiful serial killer entangles a vampire hunter’s daughter in an immortal sapphic romance in this mesmerising new gothic fantasy from the bestselling author of Lucy Undying.

Anneke has a complicated relationship with her father, Abraham Van Helsing – doctor, scientist, and madman devoted to studying vampires – up until the night she comes home to find him murdered, with a surreally beautiful woman looming over his body.

It soon becomes clear that her father isn’t the only inexplicably dead body. So, obsessed with vengeance, and armed with the latest in forensic and investigatory techniques, Anneke puts together a team of detectives to catch her mysterious serial killer.

But, for reasons even she can’t explain, Anneke keeps some crucial evidence to herself: infuriatingly coy letters, addressed only to her, occasionally soaked in blood, and always signed Diavola. Devil. The obsession is mutual, and all the more dangerous for it.

And the closer Anneke gets to her devil, the less sense the world makes. Could her father have been right all along? Could Diavola be something even more deadly than a serial killer? Because as Anneke unearths more of Diavola’s tragic past, she suspects there’s still a heart somewhere in that undead body.

A heart that beats for Anneke alone.

Praise for The Fox and the Devil

The Fox and The Devil is both a tale of obsession, guilt, and serial murder – and a love story between two women dragging each other toward the light. Grisly and electrifying, innovative and moving. Kiersten White never misses.

Allison Saft, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Dark and Drowning Tide

Horror's most versatile author strikes gold once again with THE FOX AND THE DEVIL, a chilling twist on classic detective stories that propels readers through a macabre, kaleidoscopic tour of Fin de Siecle Europe. I fell completely under the sway of these indelible characters - and I'm afraid I now demand a sequel.

Jennifer Thorne, author of Diavola

Delicious and immersive. Anneke is a heroine of wit, courage and imagination, and she leads us through an intricate gothic mystery in a richly imagined past.

Claudia Gray, New York Times bestselling author of The Murder of Mr. Wickham

Deeply immersive. From each exquisite murder to each obsessive encounter, The Fox and the Devil is as mesmerizing as its otherworldly characters.

Chloe Gong, Sunday Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings

Utterly captivating! Kiersten White just keeps getting better with every new release. I couldn't get enough!

Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author of Electric Idol
