The first in a series of novels focussing on the unlife of Dutch vampire Gretl Lune. ''Unholy Crusade'' is a departure from the comedic style common to author [[ZoeKirkRobinson Zoe Robinson]]'s other works, such as ''AllOverTheHouse''.

Gretl Lune is murdered in 1963, after being forced to watch the massacre of her family by a German vampire called Hans Allemand. Left for dead, she rises as a vampire herself and swears vengeance on her killer.

Jumping forward fifty years, we meet Seth Baron, a gun-toting civil servant from a shadow branch of the government identified only as "The Ministry". Seth's only son has been killed by drug dealers and he has become a bitter shell of a man as a result. He is tracking a major drug deal that will lead him to capturing his son's killer, when the meeting is interrupted by Gretl Lune. She kills the killer of Seth's son, and thereby ends up on Seth's radar.

Seth and his colleagues quickly track down Gretl's hideout and they confront her. After a short chase in which Gretl becomes trapped on a rooftop while the sun comes up, she explains her reason for being at the drug meet. Forced to choose between [[OurVampiresAreDifferent rotting away in the sunlight]] or assisting the government, Gretl chooses to join forces with Seth and the two of them track down Allemand in time for a final confrontation.
