Cryptid: Creature Chronicles - Book One - Paperback

by Jon Scott (Illustrator), Tim Larson (Author)

Secret Service Agent Adam Hunter, tired of the politics and mess of Washington D.C. lands a transfer out of town. Newly assigned to a task force responsible for solving a rash of savage murders in the rural Appalachian Mountains, things quickly take an unnatural turn. The victims found are strewn among the trees like macabre scarecrows, and the high profile murderer everyone is searching for may not be to blame after all. Something ancient and evil has haunted these parts since the settlers ignored the warnings of the first peoples. Now the creature is stalking again, and it's up to Adam to put a stop to it. Making matters worse are a clandestine government agency keeping tabs on him, drug runners eager to keep their turf quiet, and an escaped convict complicating matters. Maybe D.C. wasn't so bad after all...
