The Blood Books, Volume I - Tanya Huff

Vicki Nelson, formerly of Toronto's homicide unit and now a private detective, witnesses the first of many vicious attacks that are now plaguing the city of Toronto. As death follows unspeakable death, Vicki is forced to renew her tempestuous relationship with her former partner, Mike Celluci, to stop these forces of dark magic-along with another, unexpected ally…

Without him, Vicki and Mike would not survive the ancient force of chaos that has been unleashed upon the world-but in doing so, his identity may be exposed, and his life forfeit.

Forced to hide from the light of day, Henry can't hunt the killer alone, so he turns to Vicki Nelson for help. As they race against time to stop the murderer, they begin to fear that their combined talents may not be enough to prevent him from completing his deadly plan.
