- Man-eating cat stalks the Sierras, making Stu's inquiry about a friend's daughter a low priority with frazzled mountain residents. Stu's old buddy suspects his daughter is rebelling against his strict single-parenting by getting mixed-up with shady characters. A mild-mannered geology professor boarding at the buddy's house, packing heat on his wilderness sabbatical makes Stu wary too.—David Stevens
- At the request of his friend Steve Jennings, Stuart travels to Steve's remote hunting lodge in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Steve is concerned about his daughter, Ella Jennings, who he believes may be mixed up with something unsavory. Steve learned that Ella purchased enough outdoor equipment to prepare for a catastrophic event, that equipment nowhere to be seen around the lodge, with Ella brushing off the gear as just for a camping trip with friends. There may be an additional problem as the man with who Stuart got in an altercation en route to the lodge was found mauled to death, Steve mentioning that his the third such recent death by what seems to be a nocturnal creature of some sort. Stuart only made it to the lodge following that altercation with the help of one of Steve's neighbors, Bart Reed. When they discover the identity of the latest mauling victim, Stuart does indeed believe Ella may be involved with something or someone which/who she may not be ultimately equipped to handle. Stuart's initial inclination is that beyond the victim's known associates who are probably in the area, two other people may be involved: Reed, who is carrying around a higher power firearm than one would need to hunt for deer; and the lodge's only guest, Professor Chastain with UCLA's Geology Department, he who doesn't seem to fit the mold of a professor. What ends up happening is affected by whatever man eating creature is out there, which some may be able to use for their benefit.—Huggo
