Keelut, Alaska: the present can’t
seem to touch the town. It is insular and otherworldly and the wolves are
taking its children. Three so far. Medora Sloan, mother of the latest victim
brings Russell Core, a wolf expert to her tiny town. She asks him to kill the
wolf that took her son while her husband Vernon fights insurgents in the Afghan
desert.
Vernon, wounded in action returns
to an empty home and a town that already knows Medora’s terrible secret. He
goes after his missing wife, leaving a
trail of bodies across the tundra. Vernon is an army-trained killer. Core
reasons if he finds his wife, Medora won’t live to see another sunrise and Core
has reasons of his own for pursuing Vernon Sloan. Dark, spare and best devoured
in one sitting.
