Garth Carson has gone legit. Complete with briefcase in hand, he's appraising taxidermy collections for one of the largest insurance companies in the country. But when prominent big-game hunters start dying—apparently slaughtered by their own taxidermy—Garth's shiny new career makes him the FBI's number one suspect.On the run with his gal Angie and their favorite Russian gnome, Otto, Garth finds himself hopscotching across the heartland, from Hell (Michigan) to Chicago to New Mexico, on a high-stakes hunt for the real killer—who may be linked to his own family's dubious past. But when they stumble upon a renegade brotherhood, a top secret government installation, and a former archaeologist who believes Garth's nudist mother turned him into a werewolf, will Garth be one step closer to clearing his name? Or will this whirlwind of conspiracies spin him straight into the path of a killer who's already hot on his tail?
