COLD TRAIL
"In the dead of winter, deep in remote Maine, State Forest Ranger Reed Decker is called to yet another grim discovery—a body recovered from the frozen wilderness, marked by strange, unidentifiable bite wounds. As more victims surface, whispers of an unknown predator spread through the small town. But as Decker delves deeper into the mystery, he soon realizes the terrifying truth—he is no longer the hunter. He is the hunted."
