Welcome to Chinatown! During your visit, be sure to stop by Count D's pet shop, where love and dreams are sold in the form of exotic animals. But animals, as you know, have a tendency to get out of control ... This volume includes: DOOM: Like all cops, Leon Orcot understands that the police put their lives on the line every day, but when Leon's act of hesitation results in the death of his partner, it will be up to Count D to ease the detective's mind. If he can keep from driving him mad in the process, that is. DONOR: Did you know Count D had a sister? Well, neither did he. And although he's excited by the discovery, there's something sinister about this sibling. While it's not unusual for a sister to give her brother a piece of her heart, D's sister is willing to do it literally. DUTY: When a mafia don is assassinated, Leon is instructed to catch the murderer before he ignites a mob war. However, this is no ordinary hitman. He's a ruthless assassin utterly lacking in conscience or compassion ... and he appears to be only fifteen years old. DIET: Count D's come up with a very effective diet plan, tailored specifically to your needs. And the good news is that you don't have watch what you eat ... but you might want to pay attention to what eats you!

Count D
The mysterious and androgynous manager of the Pet Shop, D prides himself on selling Love and Dreams. He truly cares about his creatures and genuinely wishes his pets and their new owners the best ... but he is also always aware of the dire alternative outcome that is possible should his instructions about care and handling be ignored. D has quite a sweet tooth and as Leon has discovered, D is all too eager to discuss his pets over a slice of dessert and a flavorful cup of tea. He has a pet of his own, a bizarre little creature which is part bat, part rabbit. No one knows what the 'D' in the Count's name is short for.

Leon Orcut
A detective on the police force, Leon believes that Count D's pet shop is somehow related to an otherwise seemingly unrelated series of crimes. He doesn't have proof linking D himself to the crimes, but Leon is determined to find out the truth about the pet shop.
