Off a two-lane highway outside of a southern Tennessee town you've probably never heard of stands a hole-in-the-wall establishment called the Fat Cat Bar and Grille. Drinks are served by a woman named Charley, who seems to hear things a little too well and see things a little too clearly. She might listen to your life story, but she won't tell you a single word of hers.

The other thing she won't tell you? That you have wandered into the only shifter-friendly bar in the country...

In the three years since I was infected, I've finally managed to put my life back together. The bar is actually turning a profit. That bad breakup is totally behind me. And as Marshal, I now run the northern zone of the Mississippi Valley Pride.

So when two fierce, gorgeous strangers accuse one of my regulars of killing a human woman-a charge he vehemently denies-I'm determined to get to the truth. With the victim's brother in search of justice, the widower demanding brutal vengeance, and the fate of the entire "stray" Pride resting on the outcome of this case, I can't afford to make a mistake.

But then my investigation unearths a shocking connection to a killer I put in the ground years ago, and I realize the cards were stacked against me before this game even began...
