Something is stalking the Northumberland moors, slaughtering sheep and other livestock. There have been sightings of a "big cat," a huge, feral creature that has so far managed to elude capture. Some of the locals are terrified, while others scoff that it's only a legend. Still, the killings continue.

How could she know as she begins her research that the beast is no mere myth? How could she foresee the terror that waits for her, crouching in the dark...?
