Jack McShane: amante, assassino, seduttore, uomo attaccato alla famiglia, e vampiro. Muovendosi nelle tenebre della città di Savannah sta cercando di respingere una minaccia che incombe sull'ignara umanità. Savannah sarà presto affollata dai turisti in occasione del Giorno di San Patrizio, e Jack deve percorrere le gallerie al di sotto della città per sventare un complotto ordito da esseri folli e non più vivi. Ma Jack deve anche tenere a freno il desiderio per Connie Jones, la bellissima agente di polizia da lui resa una cacciatrice di vampiri. Connie, incapace di controllarsi, dal canto suo non immagina quali giochi stia facendo Jack con il suo corpo e la sua mente, né si rende conto che l'amore che comincia a provare per un altro mostro rientra in un piano contorto.

Il cupo figlio della notte William Cuyler Thorne ha pianto per cinque secoli la morte della sua adorata moglie e del figlio, diventando nel frattempo il più potente vampiro di Savannah, affascinando ricche e bellissime donne, e infondendo la paura in tutti coloro che osano incrociare il suo cammino. Ma adesso è in cerca di vendetta, perché ha saputo che sua moglie e suo figlio non sono morti, ma piuttosto nonmorti. Si sono uniti a un malvagio clan di succhiasangue europei, responsabile anche della cattura di Renee, la giovane figlia di una sua cara amica, una principessa vudù.

Jack McShane: lover, killer, seducer, family man, and vampire. In the shadows of Savannah, with its hip nightspots and moss-draped oak trees, Jack is trying to save humankind from a threat it doesn’t know it faces: an explosion of the otherworldly, the weird, the wanton, and the wicked.

Tourists are heading to Savannah for St. Patrick’s Day–and Jack is racing through tunnels below the city to the edge of Hell itself to hold off a plot posed by the double-dead and demented. But Jack must also hold off his own desire for Connie Jones, the beautiful cop he turned into a vampire slayer. Connie, her blood running hotter than she can handle, can’t imagine the games that Jack is playing with her body and her mind, or that the other monster she’s falling in love with is all part of his devious plan.

Welcome to the world of Jack McShane, a blue-eyed vampire who knows how crazy things can get–once you get a little taste for blood.

Wícihitowin is the first Canadian social work book written by First Nations, Inuit and Métis authors who are educators at schools of social work across Canada. The book begins by presenting foundational theoretical perspectives that develop an understanding of the history of colonization and theories of decolonization and Indigenist social work. It goes on to explore issues and aspects of social work practice with Indigenous people to assist educators, researchers, students and practitioners to create effective and respectful approaches to social work with diverse populations. Traditional Indigenous knowledge that challenges and transforms the basis of social work with Indigenous and other peoples comprises a third section of the book. Wícihitowin concludes with an eye to the future, which the authors hope will continue to promote the innovations and creativity presented in this groundbreaking work.

Once a mortal with a beloved family, William Cuyler Thorne is now a vampire on the prowl for blood and beautiful women. He has the perfect cover as an admired citizen of Savannah society. Though Reedrek, the ruthless old-world vampire who tried to destroy William has been defeated, he still has his followers–and they will settle for nothing less than all-out war.

To counter this vicious band of European bloodsuckers, organizes a vampire empire, which includes the handsomely slick Jack; William's newly made eternity mate, the luscious seductress Eleanor; and a wannabe-badass named Werm. But as William and his team prepare for the ultimate showdown, the only hope for victory may lie with one woman, a vampire with unusual powers who holds the vampires' fates in her hot little hands.

When it comes to a wild and seductive nightlife, Savannah has bite.

Older than the United States and wealthy beyond his years, playboy William Cuyler Thorne is a vampire with a nice long undead life—one that includes a steady stream of admirers, a consistent supply of rejuvenating blood, and, best of all, a cover as one of Savannah's most prominent pillars of society.

But all good things must end.

Now an ancient enemy has come for William from across the seas. It is his sire, Reedrek, the vampire who created him. And Reedrek will stop at nothing until all that is precious to William—his beautiful mistress, his stable of willing female victims, his glorious estates, and his good-ol'-boy vampire sidekick, Jack—is within his voracious grasp. But William has an arsenal of his own—one that is enhanced by the power of voodoo. And when these two bloodsuckers meet, there will be hell to pay.
