Description:

Kill the prey or be killed: it’s in my genes. A chimera, that’s what I am. And this is my story.

“A riveting and entertaining read. The prose is so much fun to read, such surprising descriptions and enjoyable dialogue. I do hope there are more adventures lined up for Track, as he is a genuinely interesting and original kind of protagonist.“ — Dr. Rob Brooks, author of Sex, Genes, and Rock ‘n Roll.

Haunted by the girl he couldn’t save in his youth, and the murder he committed to avenge her, Detective Track Presius has a unique gift: the vision and sense of smell of a predator. When a series of apparently unrelated murders reel him into the depths of genetic research, Track feels more than a call to duty. Children are dying, children who, like himself, could have been healthy, and yet something, at some point, went terribly wrong. For Track, saving the innocent becomes a quest for redemption. The only way he can come to terms with his dark past is to understand his true nature. Book Rating: PG

[Web-Dorado_Zoom] It was one of those hot summer afternoons, with air made of cobwebs and a glare as sharp as pencils. “Something’s wrong today,” I said. “It’s L.A.,” my partner replied. “Something’s always wrong in L.A.” A few hours later Johnny Carmelo was dead, his brains skewered by the whistling path of one of my bullets. He collapsed on the pavement, a red trickle of blood weeping down his face. They told me they weren’t going to clear me back to duty until the investigation was over. I left the next day. I drove up to the Sierras, camped in my truck, and hunted at night. There are days I long to disappear in the wild, go back to the predator life I was meant to have. Kill the prey or be killed: it’s in my genes. A chimera, that’s what I am. And this is my story.
