A
Murdering Monster and a Myth Come to Life
After a
police shootout where she killed a man, criminologist Maggie Tall Bear Sloan
retires from the force to enjoy peace and quiet in rural California. When sets
of young twins are murdered in her town, the local sheriff recruits her to
solve the gruesome killings.
But to
catch a killer, Maggie either accepts her true nature as a “pukkukwerek” —the
shapeshifting monster killer of Yurok legend—or more children will die.
As the
manhunt intensifies and her own family is threatened, Maggie will do whatever
it takes to keep them safe. Whether she’s awake or asleep dreaming, Maggie is
faced with a difficult choice: embrace her heritage—even if it means turning
into myth itself—or deny that heritage and lose everything.
