Out of the Light

Jan Mirocek used to be a hunter. A very special hunter. Once, he had hunted the things that haunt the forests of the night in every culture of the world. The kallikantzari of Greece. The loup-garou of France. The kitsune of Japan.
      
Were-beasts. Shape-shifters.
      
Until one night, Jan made a mistake, and the woman he loved died.
      
Now he shuns the dark and his own past, hiding in a big city. For the were-beasts never come here.
      
Or do they?
      
People are dying in Toronto, and all signs point to a shifter. But can Jan conquer his own fears to track down the killer? And what kind of shape shifter would be at home in a modern city?
