Detective Elijah Walker is outwardly the star partner of the Major Crimes Unit, yet secretly a werewolf who must chain himself with silver every full moon. A massacre drags him into an abyss: the scent of his own kind lingers at the crime scene, his mentor hints at a mole within the police force, and evidence incriminates him—every link locking into place.
When the system turns into a trap, when the hunter hides behind the mask of a mentor, he teeters on the precipice between exposure and arrest, forced to unmask the hand still killing from the shadows. Beneath the silver chain, he holds back the beast within; above the city, another monster drives him straight toward an altar.
