It Walked Among Us (Paperback)

Detective Frank Milsner is tortured by the long-unsolved mutilation of his niece, Maggie. James Wilkerson is an alcoholic bearing scars of his upbringing by his brilliant but volatile surgeon father, Evan. These two men from opposite worlds are drawn together by a mystery that has haunted the local area of Fairvale, VA, for decades. When Frank is called to the scene of a mutilated dog whose injuries mimic those inflicted upon Maggie, he is convinced that he is closer than ever to finding her killer, a substantive theory upon meeting James, who bears evidence connecting his father to the dead girl. Now the men are drawn into a web of secrets originating in the early 1950's, a journey into the mind of a madman and an enigmatic woman who may hold all the answers.
