The Wolf of White Wharf

"Tonight, tonightThe moon shines brightAnd the beast will comeTo tear and bite!"Teen sleuth Beatrice Beecham and her gang of friends have a new case to solve. In the coastal town of Dorsal Finn a timber wolf escapes from a smuggler's boat at White Wharf. Livestock is found mauled, and the locals are crippled with fear by the hideous sound of snarls and howls in the moonlit nights.Because Dorsal Finn is not like any other town, things are often drawn to it, strange creatures that are not meant to exist. Now Beatrice and The Newshounds have to find out if the creature roaming the fields and moors is actually an escaped wolf, or something far more sinister. And somehow stop it before the beast adds the residents of Dorsal Finn to its menu!This short story is a taste of what to expect in Dave Jeffery's Beatrice Beecham series, including Beatrice Beecham's Cryptic Crypt, available from Crystal Lake Publishing—Tales from the Darkest Depths.This story (and the Beatrice Beecham series) is perfect for fans of werewolves, shapeshifters, American werewolf in London, The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Scooby-Doo, The Monster Squad, The Goonies, Teen Wolf, Secret Seven, Famous Five, and Three Investigators.
