| - Serena, a vampire whom Nick Knight brought over in the 1920s as the result of a misunderstanding, has come to Toronto in the hope of finding a way to regain her mortality. There is folk lore within the vampire community claiming that this happens to female vampires if they become pregnant. Ordinarily, this is impossible; but it is reputed to be capable of happening with a "very special sort of man" if intercourse occurs "higher than high...at the peak of a perfectly full moon". Serena believes that the CN Tower qualifies as "higher than high", and that she has a chance of pregnancy—and mortality—with a man who has two Y chromosomes (i.e. XYY rather than the normal XY). To this end, she seduces a construction worker, Calvin Trilling, who has the appropriate chromosomal abnormality. Nick becomes involved, because Trilling is a murder suspect, and Serena has to break him out of the holding cells at the 96th Precinct in order to complete the ritual. While Nick pursues Serena by getting information from LaCroix, his partner, Don Schanke goes to her apartment, where a picture of the CN Tower inspires him to suggest it as an answer to Nick's question, "What's ‘higher than high’?" Nick therefore flies to the Tower. Guilt about bringing Serena across persuades him to let her complete the ritual, though it fails to have the desired effect of restoring her mortality. Was the folklore false? Was the XYY chromosomal abnormality not the "special" characteristic required in the man? Or was the CN Tower not "higher than high"? As Schanke arrives with reinforcments at the base of the Tower, all Nick can do is let Serena dispose of Trilling's corpse. From Schanke's perspective, the lead to the CN Tower had failed to pan out. All he can report to Captain Cohen is the theory that Trilling actually went, not to the Tower, but to nearby Union Station, in order to escape from Toronto by train.
- CN Tower - wieża w Toronto, w Kanadzie. Jedna z najwyższych wolnostojących budowli świata i najwyższa wybudowana wieża na świecie. Działa jako wieża telewizyjna, ma ogólnodostępne tarasy widokowe, obrotową restaurację i kompleks rozrywkowy. Położona jest w centrum miasta, na styku Entertainment District, Financial District i Harbourfront. Obok wieży stoi Rogers Centre - pierwszy na świecie stadion z całkowicie odsłanianą kopułą. CN Tower to najbardziej widoczny symbol i atrakcja miasta. Wieżę widać z każdego punktu miasta i z bardzo daleka poza nim. CN Tower przez ponad 25 lat był najwyższą wolnostojącą budowlą, wpisaną oficjalnie do Księgi Guinnessa. W pogodny dzień ze szczytu można dostrzec wodospad Niagara oraz Stany Zjednoczone po drugiej stronie jeziora Ontario.

Its name "CN" originally referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower. Following the railway's decision to divest non-core freight railway assets, prior to the company's privatization in 1995, it transferred the tower to the Canada Lands Company, a federal Crown corporation responsible for real estate development. Since the name CN Tower became common in daily usage, the abbreviation was eventually expanded to Canadian National Tower or Canada's National Tower. However, neither of these names is commonly used.
