This book reminds me of those fun read from the likes of James Herberts Deadly Eyes where you are thrown into the victims last moments of life. Them being hunted down and torn apart. But with Stacey's Claws series you also get nice background fun knowledge of each of the predators.
This book centers around Grizzly Bear attacks and the politics to cover it up for personal gain. A fun entertaining read.
Product Description
Down on her luck and bankrupt, embattled wildlife biologist Dr. Angie Rippard accepts a long-shot assignment from the governor of Colorado to determine once and for all if grizzly bears are completely extinct in the southwest corner of the state.
No one has seen a grizzly north of Durango since 1979, but the governor needs proof to halt development of a 6,000-acre ski resort that will devastate the natural resources of the region.
What Angie finds will forever disrupt construction of the 500-million-dollar resort, and pits her against powerful political forces that will stop at nothing to see that her research never sees the light of day… even if it means hunting her to her death through the worst snowstorm ever seen in the mountains near Telluride.
