For two hundred years the town of Rockfall has been home to something more than human… and no one has noticed.

Werewolves go missing now and then, but like outdoor cats they almost always come back. When Zee goes looking for a lost pack member he find himself following a string of disappearances that go back decades. Ghost stories and folklore aside, he’s pretty sure there’s something lurking in the mountains that’s developed a taste for wolves.

Unaware of just how much trouble he’s found, Zee’s hot on the trail of whoever (or whatever) has been causing wolves who stray through Rockfall to vanish.
