Five murdered. Three suspects. One tiger. If Willow can ever find a pattern... Willow Thompson is the best detective Stamford has seen. Working under the title of "Chief" for the past eight years, Willow isn't afraid to get her hands dirty for work, and speed is her motto. With Willow, quality and quantity are one in the same. But when a man shows up on her desk cut to pieces, those lines begin to blur... He's a Champawat copycat, with the face of a tiger and a six-inch filet knife as his teeth - maiming and torturing civilians during the night as he prowls the concrete jungle. Nowhere is safe; not homes, parks, or late-night dinners, and no one knows when he'll pounce. All eyes are on Willow. Can she keep her promises? Can she hurry through this case and track down this tiger? The answer will be no if she's not careful. With an unborn child expecting safety, and a husband who's worried sick, Willow is forced to pick a side - fugitives or family?
