Eleanor Piper grew up in the West
Country and spent much of her time on the moors and walking the coastal paths
of Devon . She has always enjoyed the ancient
history and mythology of the county she grew up in. She will be talking about her
exciting new book:
“In the darkness claws scraped
against rock as something headed up out of the stygian gloom to hunt in the
shelter of night.
Silhouetted
against the dying sunset a head emerged from the cave. Feline, graceful,
powerful. It yawned. Even to a distant observer, the fangs would have been
obvious. The creature was an apex predator, larger than a tiger and far more
deadly. “
Mabel Cooper, Dartmoor National Park Ranger, must put aside
her conservationist sensibilities when she is asked to help guide top big game hunter,
Baxter Cobb, in his quest to track and kill the man-eater that was responsible for the death of a dog walker
on the moor.
But no big
cats have escaped from the zoo. And as the death toll mounts, so do the
questions about what this creature is. The hunters must come to terms with the
fact that the ancient tales of horror, surviving
as folklore for centuries, will turn out to be based on more than just myth and
legend.
