Gatorman: The Legend Awakes

THE LOCAL LEGEND REFUSES TO DIE Twenty years ago, bodies showed up in Everglades City skinned and posed in unlikely places. Locals blamed the murders on a recluse circus freak called Gatorman. Everyone breathed easier when, for some reason, the murders ceased. Two decades passed in the blink of a gator's eye and now a skinned body has shown up tied to the hood of a Toyota in the parking lot of Glades Grocery. No one's happy. Not Patience Little Moon, Gatorman's granddaughter and part of a local Indian family many blamed for Gatorman's earlier spree. Not Logan Rivers, a Marine veteran and local Fish and Wildlife officer with a visceral fear of alligators. Not Sheriff's Deputy Whaley, a rookie on the Gatorman case twenty years ago with a few secrets from that time no one must ever learn. When a second body shows up, skinned and stinking up the inside of the Deputy Sheriff's locked cruiser, tensions rise. A young deputy disappears without a trace. Someone vandalizes Gator Safari-the local tourist park. Then Patience Little Moon disappears and her grandmother begs Logan Rivers to find her. What he finds instead is a bloody local legend that refuses to die.
