"Trevor MacDaniel is a search and rescue volunteer whose need to guard and protect extends to his daily life. When he rescues a boy from a mountain lion, he forms a bond with Natalie Reeve, the sculptor next door whose gift is also a disability. Their relationship develops, but a reckoning draws near. Drawn by the heroic story of the boy's rescue on the news, a twisted mind recognizes its adversary in Trevor, like an archangel of stalwart size and righteousness. The threats Trevor receives chill him and those he cares about, but are, at the root, a cry for help. Jonah Westfall, chief of police, has not encountered a threat like the one approaching his town, Redford, Colorado. But he'll do whatever it takes to bring it down. The monster cries for help in the only way he knows how, by reenacting the nightmare that created him, hoping and praying each time for a different outcome. Trevor MacDaniel, strong in appearance, power, and righteousness, will provide him his final test"--Provided by publisher.
