The Cabinet of Light was the ninth Telos Doctor Who novella published in 2003. This Doctor Who story resulted in a spin-off series of books by Telos entitled Time Hunter, which would outlast Telos' licence to publish Doctor Who fiction. This was the first of two (the second was The Dalek Factor) to feature an unspecified and unidentifiable incarnation of the Doctor.
Publisher's summary
Where is the Doctor? Everyone is hunting him.
Honoré Lechasseur, a time sensitive "fixer", is hired by mystery woman Emily Blandish to find him. Lechasseur discovers that the Doctor is, in fact, a semi-mythical figure who has appeared off and on throughout Earth’s history. But what is his connection with London in 1949? And why is a mysterious group seeking "the cabinet of light," a device somehow connected with the Doctor?
Lechasseur is about to discover that following in the Doctor's footsteps can be a difficult task.
