However, her pet can’t seem to remember the place where she discovered it, so she enlists the help of Clancy and her dog Sam in the search for more of the skeletal remains. What begins as a mysterious adventure in bone searching, quickly turns into a nightmare in which more bones and bodies turn up in the North Carolina mountains. A savage beast seems to be on the loose, while Clancy and Starnes are hoping to figure out who or what is behind the vicious killings before more people die.
