Homework on a vampire synopsis

Set in Malta, a small island in the Mediterranean Sea, in 1981, a story that explores the unusual activities going on inside the islands mental institution ‘The Asylum of Valletta . A journalist looks into all the unsolved murders that have happened on the island of which stretch back fifty or so years that all have the same cause of death, bodies drained of blood, decapitated limbs, headless bodies left to rot and for some reason every single case always comes back to this institution. The Asylum of Valletta  here is a young girl, Maria Allegretto, sectioned by her parents after a horrific incident at a family gathering. At first the journalist laughs off the idea that this girl has anything to do with these murders, after all she is only seventeen and the last recorded death he has written down was nine years ago that would have made her eight years old at the time. Just out of curiosity he researches a bit more and discovers that this seventeen year old is indeed a vampire, and he goes on a journey with her to help her understand who she really is.
