The Gypsies live in the shadows of the city, blending in with Canadian society but never adapting to it, cling to the traditional Romany ways. Now a series of bizarre murders have baffled the police - each death somehow connected with the city's elusive Gypsy community. The police are looking for a human murderer. The Romany know better. They know the name of the darkness that hunts them down, one by one. He Who Walks With Ghosts - Mulengro.
