Read this book in the early 1990's. It's been a while, so my details may be a bit fuzzy.
I recall that the setting was in the late 19th century and a human detective is approached by a vampire to investigate the deaths of vampires. Turns out that another vampire is killing his own kind.
That's about all I remember about the plot. Got it from the Science Fiction Book Club back in the day, I think it was one that got shipped to me because I didn't send the card back in time. It was entertaining though.

Probably Those Who Hunt the Night, by Barbara Hambly (1988). Aside from my memory, I see that Wikipedia describes it thus in part:
The 20th century is just under way, and somebody is killing the vampires of London. Against the wishes of his fellow undead, Simon Ysidro, oldest of the London vampires, seeks the assistance of Oxford professor James Asher, former spy for the British government. . . . Asher's theory is that the killer must be a vampire himself, one able to remain awake and active in the daytime.
I added an edit to note that the ISFDB lists a SFBC edition, but for some reason that seemingly didn't go through:
