A rural Wisconsin mystery with a legendary suspect

A body found on a country road renews local reports of the Beast of Bray Road, a werewolf-like creature said to inhabit the area. The apparent animal attack and damage to the victim’s car lead the community to suspect the legend, while the investigation brings in cryptozoologist Morgan Carter, whose work centers on reported creatures across the upper Midwest. The setup places a murder investigation alongside questions about folklore, eyewitness accounts, and how a community interprets an unexplained crime. As the latest entry in a mystery series, the book builds its central case around the uneasy possibility that the familiar explanations may not account for everything happening on Bray Road.

Book overview

Under the light of the full moon, a quiet rural lane becomes the scene of a shocking crime that may be the work of a mythical monster in the latest entry of this USA Today bestselling mystery series.

When a dead body turns up along a lonely country byway in rural Wisconsin, rumors of The Beast of Bray Road, a werewolf-like creature that is said to inhabit the area are reinvigorated. For years locals have reported sightings of the terrifying creature, but this would be its first verified attack.

Marks on the dead woman's body indicate a mauling by some kind of large animal. The wounds plus deep scratches on the victim's car convince the community that the legendary beast is not only real but responsible for this brutal killing.

If the police have any hope of solving this crime, they're going to need an expert--enter cryptozoologist Morgan Carter. She's investigated sightings of eerie creatures throughout the upper Midwest. If anyone is going to track down the killer, it's Morgan, but she may find that the Beast is not the worst thing lurking on Bray Road.
