An impossible killer stalks the Bayou, and Sheriff John Decker is running out of time.
Hoping for a quiet life, Decker leaves the NYPD to take over as sheriff in his sleepy southern hometown. But peace shatters when two mutilated bodies are discovered in the woods, their deaths eerily similar to his mother’s unsolved murder thirty years ago—a tragedy that destroyed his family and drove him away.
As a storm bears down on the town and bodies begin to pile up, the Medical Examiner insists the killer isn’t human. Decker dismisses the idea—there are no large predators here. But the deeper he digs, the more the impossible becomes undeniable.
Can he unravel the truth before the storm and the killer strike again, claiming someone he loves?
