AT THE EDGE OF CIVILIZATION, NATURE AND EVIL COLLIDE IN THIS “TAUT AND UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF DARKNESS” (DENNIS LEHANE).
In this “chilling, mysterious, and completely engaging novel” (Tim O’Brien), the wolves have come for the children of Keelut. At the start of another pitiless winter, three children have been taken from this isolated Alaskan village, including the six-year-old boy of Medora and Vernon Slone. Wolf expert Russell Core is called in to investigate these killings and discovers a dark and unholy truth harbored by Medora before she disappears. When her husband returns from a desert war to discover his boy dead and his wife missing, he begins a maniacal pursuit that cuts a bloody swath across the frozen landscape. With the help of a local police detective, Core attempts to find Medora before her husband does, setting in motion a deadly chain of events in this “powerful meditation on nature, violence, and responsibility” (Thomas McGuane).
