When the wild things are stirring taking sides could get you killedUprooted to a remote Virginia mountain town by her husband in a failed attempt to start afresh Cassie Jackson gets the cold shoulder from his reclusive darkhaired family of hunters And only cool friendship from the tall fair neighbors across the river When her husband is murdered and she is shut out of the burial plans she sneaks into the funeral home to at least say goodbye and discovers what it is her motherinlaw from Hell didnt want her to see Something oddlyfurrySilver Grove used to be a quiet townuntil Cassie arrived She has dared to cross the river and from their first glance Deputy David Argon found himself drawn to his newly widowed neighbor Now in the midst of the biggest crime investigation in years he feels compelled to shield her from the rising tension among the citizens and the huntersExcept protecting her means his handsoff policy is doomed to failure And when another murder hits too close to home staying out of her arms is mission impossibleWarning If you go out in the woods tonight youre sure of a big surpriseand were not talking bears of the teddy variety
