Where shadows end, the hunt begins.

From the darkly prolific mind of creator Jane Jensen comes the second Gabriel Knight® mystery: The Beast Within. We find Schattenjäger, or shadow hunter, Gabriel and his assistant Grace Nakimura deeply embroiled in a murderous mystery that unravels half a world away.
