The Bangtail Ghost

In Montana’s Gravelly Range, paw prints and a single whisker discovered at a scene of horrific violence suggest
a woman had been attacked and carried away by a mountain lion. Sheriff Martha Ettinger employs her fiancé,
sometimes-detective Sean Stranahan, to put a name to the gnawed bones comprising all that is left of the body. The
woman’s is the first of several deaths that Sean suspects are not as easily explained as they appear. As a reign of terror
grips the Madison Valley, blood in the tracks will lead him from the river below to the snow-covered ridge tops, as Sean
finds himself on his most adventurous and dangerous quest yet. For as he comes closer to unearthing the secret shared
by the dead and missing, the tracks he is following will turn, and the hunter becomes the hunted.
