Now, twenty-one years later, the forces of darkness were gathering to collect their long-awaited prize. Guess who's about to pick a fight with the Devil himself... SOUL CATCHER My name is Mike Raven. I hunt monsters. But today the monsters are hunting me. There are two worlds. The world of the living--and the world of the dead. Sometimes they overlap. And sometimes they collide. The spirit of a diabolical killer has returned from the grave to stalk the woman I love. Guess who's going to pick a fight with a dead murderer and his legion of the damned? BLOOD RAIN My name is Mike Raven. I've always hunted monsters. But now one of them is the woman I love. I tried to save Detective Jane Archer's life. Instead I turned her into a creature of the night. I know she's out there. Hunting. Killing. It's only a matter of time before our paths cross. Before I must make a terrible decision: Do I put her down or let my city drown in a rain of blood?
