About the Author

     Police are called to rural estate to discover a crime scene so horrific and so bloody that seasoned officers and crime scene people are not only sickened by what they see, but bodies are so badly mutilated that they can't even tell how many victims they have.
     Who - or what - could commit such a crazed, frenzied kind of savagery? And why?
     Detective Remy Duff is dealing with his own demons at the moment, coping with his ailing, and perhaps dying, father in intensive care.
     Police are baffled, and talk runs to some sort of murderous satanic cult being responsible and Duff, thanks to his interest in things occult and preternatural, is called in as a specialist. He is charged with finding out what is going on, and find out fast before the whole thing blows up in the media ... and before the unthinkable can happenagain.
     But it does happen again, and Duff is under crushing pressure to get results.

     As for some sort of bizarre cult; Duff isn't so sure.
     Whatever is killing people in such an uncontrollable fury, he believes, cannot be human. But if not human ... then what? And, again ... why?
     Duff is drawn face to face with pure, elemental evil and must draw on every ounce of training and personal resourcefulness simply to survive.

	Remy Duff is a senior detective attached to the Major Crimes Unit of the Toronto Police Force. His role is with a largely unexplored police specialty: the Old Clothes Undercover Squad, officers who dress in scruffy old clothes pulled from the corners of the closet. They do so to blend into the city’s late night haunts and dives to build a network of informant sources - human intelligence, or humint - any police force’s most effective tool. However, it is a job most coppers can’t do, and a lifestyle most want no part of. Duff is the only one in his division to volunteer, so he is a squad of one. And he thrives in the unique role. He’s a street-smart and highly resourceful free spirit who can move comfortably in any company, dangerous or otherwise. And nightlife is his natural habitat.	The role also affords a freedom that no other police function does. For instance, Duff gets to sleep late and drink beer on the job, two small perks that fit nicely with Duff's world view. And he has the highest C&C rate on the whole force (Collars and Convictions), so he is given much – begrudged – latitude by his superiors. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Duff’s character is his passion, which happens to be the world of magic, and magic infuses his life both on and off the job! Some even claim that he has psychic abilities. Duff isn't saying. What he certainly has is a stubborn individualism and an unshakeable sense of humor. Those, and his magic interest, help keep him sane on job with the highest burnout rate in the land.
