Her time spent on the Classified Investigations Unit in the FBI had prepared her for a slew of supernatural creatures and sinister magic. Now she's ready to take on her first solo case and prove that she's top CIU material. But what her time with the CIU hadn't taught her was what to do when her ex-boyfriend Tommy Ortega shows up to investigate the same crime. Bodies are dropping in Little Bluff, Arkansas. And each one is mangled more than the last. Do these bodies have a connection? Or is a wild classified creature on the loose? It's up to Ellery to keep her personal life at bay and to solve her first solo case in order to end the blood shed in the Ozarks. 62k words
