Part of GhostWalker, book 11
First published 2015
Wyatt Fontenot came home from military experiments changed. The secret program gave him catlike abilities but transformed him from healer to killer. Now back in the Louisiana bayous with his GhostWalker brother Gator, Wyatt encounters a woman who calls herself Pepper. The locals know her as Le Poivre de Cayenne. She guards three young girls with fierce determination, but Wyatt sees the fear behind her protection. Something dangerous hunts them through the swamps. Pepper needs Wyatt's deadly skills, and he finds himself drawn to her enigmatic nature. But Pepper carries secrets that run deeper than the murky bayou waters. As Wyatt gets closer to the truth about what threatens the children, he discovers that in this humid wilderness, desire can prove as lethal as any enemy.
