About This Book

A small hunting party caught in a blizzard finds a frozen, crushed corpse on a lonely road whose central chest wound defies ordinary explanation. Bringing the body and their story into a nearby village, they encounter uneasy locals, visible signs of deer hunting, and talk of a sinister local legend about a phantom buck blamed for unexplained deaths. The narrative follows the group's uneasy deliberations and the mounting mystery as they confront conflicting evidence and the possibility of a lethal, nonhuman force at work.
