Four Devils, One Hell

Radley Benton is a 33-year-old curator of antiquities for the New Orleans Grendel Krewe under their leader, Renute. He is socially anxious and a virgin, and essentially lives his life as a bump on a log.

Then one day a fellow Grendel curator from England, Gloria DeVere, meets him in a bar. She seduces him in order to find out about the artwork he oversees. She is in search of the long-lost Mona Lisa, and has tracked it to New Orleans. She doesn't really even like him, and just uses him for information. He, on the other hand, totally falls for her.

Gloria finally finds out where the Mona Lisa is being stored, but ends up in a climatic battle with many of the other figures in the area when she tries to get it back. Radley, meanwhile, has been turned into a vampire by Renute. He asks Gloria to join him as a vampire so they can be together forever. Gloria, however, doesn't hesitate to kill him immediately.
