Description

Ruth McGowan's estranged brother has been killed. But not just killed--torn apart.

And David's not the only one. Shredded corpses are piling up in Grey County faster than the falling snow. Authorities say it's a black bear, though Ruth--called home from Toronto to ID the body and face her broken family--fears the answer is much more complicated.

While there may have been no love lost between Ruth and her brother, she refuses to let the evil claim any more of the ones she holds dear--not her beloved little sisters; not Ellie, the ex-girlfriend she still carries a torch for; not even Cora, the poodle she inherited along with the rest of the farm. So when a mysterious new ally shows up one cold night to offer help, Ruth agrees--against her better judgment.

But with so much responsibility to juggle, Ruth forgets to protect herself, and the bloody consequences are worse--and wilder--than she could ever have imagined.
