Novels

Laurence Beauchemin dominated global headlines in 1884 when he captured a live Sasquatch in the forests of British Columbia. The newspapers dubbed him the greatest monster hunter alive. But fame is fleeting and the world moved on.


Now, in 1899 Saskatchewan, eleven-year-old Elizaveta Soroka arrives in Canada with her uncle and dozens of other Ukrainian immigrants seeking to build a new life on the prairie. But when a local man is found dead, seemingly with vampire bites on his neck, accusations are hurled at the newcomers. When rumours swirl that Elizaveta’s uncle may have been involved, Elizaveta seeks to clear his name.


Hoping to stave off a xenophobic panic, the Canadian government calls in the once-famous Beauchemin to investigate. Beauchemin leaps at the opportunity to prove his capture of the Sasquatch was not merely a stroke of luck. He gathers a makeshift team of a skeptical assistant, a silent bodyguard, and a manipulative clairvoyant, and sets out to slay the vampire.
