She could feel bruises rising beneath her skin and as she caught sight of her reflection in the kitchen window she saw that there was blood smeared across her neck from a tooth mark just below her jawbone. She moved around the farmhouse. The french doors that led out onto what passed for Seth’s garden were locked but the back door was only on a latch. Gwen moved inside. The house was bitter cold…

After the devastating deaths of her mother and brother, wildlife ranger, Gwen Gallagher, eagerly joins a research project with her old University tutor, Andy Guttridge. Gwen discovers that Guttridge and his team are searching for the mythical big cats of the Devon moors, however, things don’t appear as wholesome as she thought. Rather than researching these beautiful creatures, the team are profiting from hunting parties. Gwen suspects local farmer Seth Mason is providing the organic venison bait and determines to throw them all off the scent to keep this extra special wildlife wild.

These revelations call all of Gwen’s loyalties and logic into question. She begins to wonder if she can trust anyone, even herself.
