Season of the Wolf — Jeffrey J. Mariotte

Season of the Wolf is a heart-stopping supernatural thriller about the nature of evil, the evils of nature, and the epic struggle between a small town's residents and impossible creatures from the dawn of history.

In the mountains around the small town of Silver Gap, Colorado, bark beetles -- aided by a warming climate -- are decimating the pine forests. That environmental degradation has brought Alex Converse, wealthy heir and would-be documentary filmmaker, to town. And his arrival coincides with another -- the reappearance of wolves, long thought to be extinct in the state.

But these are no ordinary wolves. They're big, cunning, ferocious, and very, very hungry. As the town grapples with that danger, an even more terrifying predator emerges, one without fur and fangs…one wearing a human face.
