In the doldrums following New Orleans' heady Carnival season, an unspeakable horror stalks the streets, tearing its victims apart and defying Detective Dave Somers' best efforts to understand it before another grisly scene of death is discovered. Wracked with guilt at his slow progress on the case, Somers feels himself beginning to spiral out of control.
Veterinary nurse Ashley Grey doesn't have time to worry about the bizarre and gruesome murders happening practically on her doorstep. Her patients need her, and her hospital is in crisis. But when someone Ashley loves is torn away from her, she knows she must do whatever she can to help the police with their investigation- since no one else has seen the monster and lived to tell about it.
Together, two damaged people will stand against an apex predator- one that strikes without warning. Together, they will learn they have more in common than they first believed.
Together, they will stop the monster by any means necessary- or die trying.
