Murder by Chance

Do you believe in werewolves? What would you say if you happened upon a dead body and forensic experts discovered evidence pointing to an attack by a strange man-beast? That's exactly what has happened in the secluded parks and woodlands surrounding one terrified Midwestern community. Detective Sam Sloan is a realist and born skeptic who scoffs at fanciful myths and legends. That is, until his investigative team is baffled by a string of brutal killings that seem to have no other reasonable explanation. The elusive monster strikes like clockwork according to the lunar cycle, only under the shimmering glow of the full moon. As the body count increases, Sloan, against his better judgment and veteran cop's instincts, turns to a naturalist and Native American spiritualist for guidance. Their mystical, secular viewpoints are challenged by a crusty, old Aussie professor who espouses a literal six-day creation according to the Genesis account. Who is more dangerous, the animal that kills without conscience or man, who is driven by conscious evil? Imagine the most fearsome beast of all a predator with the remorseless instincts and keen senses of a vicious wolf, coupled with an unhinged but brilliant man's cunning and intelligence. Seek the answers as we track down the lunatic, Lew Carew.
