BOOK #1

Morgan Carter, owner of the Odds and Ends bookstore in
Door County, Wisconsin, has a hobby. When she's not tending
the store, she's hunting cryptids--creatures whose existence is
rumored, but never proven to be real. It's a hobby that cost her
parents their lives, but one she'll never give up on. So when a
number of bodies turn up on the shores of Lake Michigan with
injuries that look like bites from a giant unknown animal, police chief Jon
Flanders turns to Morgan for help. A skeptic at heart, Morgan can't turn
down the opportunity to find proof of an entity whose existence she can't
definitively rule out. She and her beloved rescue dog, Newt, journey to the the
strait known as Death's Door to hunt for a homicidal monster in the lake--but
if they're not careful, she just might be its next victim.
