Knucklewalkers: Appalachian Face Eaters

Reports of savage animal attacks in the mountains of North Carolina draw FBI agents Nicole Beretti, Noah Jacobi, and Riley Brooks into another investigation unlike anything local authorities have ever seen.

The victims are torn apart. Entire communities are living in fear. And whatever is responsible isn't any known predator.

As the body count rises, the APEX Jaegers uncover evidence of something far more dangerous lurking within the Appalachian wilderness. The creatures are known in local legend as Gugwe. Larger, faster, and far more aggressive than Sasquatch, they've earned another name from those unfortunate enough to encounter them.

Face-Eaters.

But Beretti soon realizes they aren't hunting a single rogue creature.

There are many of them.

And APEX is hopelessly outnumbered.

For Beretti, there's only one option left.

Call for backup.

Knucklewalkers: Appalachian Face-Eaters is the first book in a two-part Nicole Beretti thriller. The story continues in Knucklewalkers: Battleground , available now.
