About this ebook

Mag lives in a rustic cabin in the Canadian wilds, far from neighbours and further from her past. It's an unremarkable life, save for the enormous bear carcass on the kitchen table.

But when her estranged daughter Beth turns up on the doorstep having been freshly released from prison, the past becomes terrifyingly present - and the bear isn't the only thing with a dangerous bite.
