Some towns have secrets. Meadowvale has a monster. For retired Scotland Yard Inspector Hugh Montgomery, the quiet New England town of Meadowvale was meant to be a refuge-a place to escape the ghosts of a failed case and the grief of losing his wife. But when a series of bizarre animal mutilations escalates into a gruesome human murder, Hugh recognizes a pattern he's seen before: a methodical violence that whispers of something more than a wild animal.

Some towns have secrets. Meadowvale has a monster. For retired Scotland Yard Inspector Hugh Montgomery, the quiet New England town of Meadowvale was meant to be a refuge-a place to escape the ghosts of a failed case and the grief of losing his wife. But when a series of bizarre animal mutilations escalates into a gruesome human murder, Hugh recognizes a pattern he's seen before: a methodical violence that whispers of something more than a wild animal. The terrified townspeople blame the "Ripper," a century-old legend that stalks Meadowvale's history, a creature said to return when progress clashes with tradition. As Hugh is reluctantly drawn into the investigation, he finds that the town's pristine facade conceals a rot of secrets, a generations-long feud between its founding families, and a conspiracy that uses the Ripper legend as a bloody mask. With the help of a sharp local veterinarian and his own journalist niece, Hugh must navigate a labyrinth of lies where every clue seems deliberately placed and every ally is a potential suspect. The tracks in the mud don't belong to any known animal, and the true predator is far more intelligent-and ruthless-than any beast. To stop the killings, Hugh must unearth a truth buried for over a hundred years. But in a town built on secrets, some monsters are best left undisturbed.
