There's Wyatt, a dope-growing Muscogee whose obsession with a black cougar that shouldn't exist begins to uproot his life. The teenager who lives with him-Randy-is outraged at the world, confused about his sexuality, and haunted by the bones of his mother. And there's Esther-a dutiful, God-fearing court bailiff who finds herself thrust into the position of county sheriff, forced to find the missing girl whose disappearance sets everything in motion. Inexorably bringing them all together is a nameless cowboy junky who may or may not be some ancient shape-shifting evil. All of them must overcome this new dark while dealing with the violent undercurrents of family, religion, addiction, and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChase Dearinger\u003c\/b\u003e is an Oklahoma native who now lives in Kansas with his wife and two daughters.
