A murder. A frame-up. A city on the brink of chaos. Cougar shifter Detective Kat Kale is used to walking the line between humans and shifters in a city built on a fragile peace. As a seasoned investigator in this urban fantasy detective series, she’s a loner in the homicide department and that’s how she likes it. Then a brutal killing changes everything. When her longtime rival, human homicide detective Rafe Anhelm, is arrested for the savage murder of wolf alpha Joel Hardcastle, Kat is pulled into a shifter murder mystery that could tear the city apart. Kat calls Anhelm her nemesis, but he’s no killer. But as the evidence stacks against him, his pack are demanding blood. As she launches a supernatural crime investigation to save him, Kat uncovers a web of secrets, betrayal, and deadly politics, human and shifter, lurking beneath the surface. In this gripping paranormal police procedural, every clue leads deeper into a conspiracy someone will kill to protect. With time running out and tensions rising between humans and shifters, Kat must solve the case before an innocent man is condemned—and before a fragile alliance explodes into chaos. Because in a city full of predators, the truth can be just as deadly.
