OK, me likey. Back-story: A man-made plague gets loose, wipes out quite a bit of humanity, let's say a few out of every 10 people, and when the dust settles, humanity finds out that about half of the people left alive are in fact not humans, but elder creatures that have been "passing" as human: Spites, ogres, witches, were-folk, vampires, etc.. As non-humans, they were immune.
Since they kept civilization going during humanity's virus problem, and humanity is pretty weak from their recent self-decimation, both parties decide to just try to get along, but neither side much likes or trusts each other. The non-humans keep to themselves in segregated slums/suburbs/ghettos and govern themselves.
Our hero is a witch and soon-to-be former cop in the Cincinatti non-human ghetto...
