Snarky, monster-porn-dealing teen, Baxter Zevcenko, might be a serial killer. His girlfriend, Esme, is missing, and heโs the prime suspect. To clear his name, heโll turn to Cape Townโs grizzliest, drunkest bounty hunter, Jackson โJackieโ Ronin. Little does he know that Ronin is a supernatural bounty-hunter, and that heโs about to be dragged headlong into a deep, dark Cape Town underbelly full of monsters and myth, shadowy government forces, bloodthirsty crow-men and a conspiracy across time and space.
