Lawless, British Columbia is on edge after a powerful earthquake jolts the region, quickly followed by a string of savage animal attacks. Newly stationed to the area after her predecessor mysteriously disappears, Conservation Officer Christine Moon needs to calm the jangled nerves of the small mountain town. Awakened from ancient slumber, something stalks the swirling, grey mists that surround Lawless. A beast with a gnawing hunger that grows stronger by the minute - its only thought, to satisfy its ravenous appetite.

On December 31, 1981, high atop a snowy mountain peak in the rugged interior of British Columbia, Canada, 98 beautiful people eat, drink, laugh, and dance inside the opulent grand ballroom of the Sinclair Resort Hotel. The clock strikes 12, a cheer goes up, and the music swells; balloons drop and streamers swirl. Then blackness. Fifteen seconds later, the power returns and every living soul inside the ballroom has vanished. Forty years later, preternatural investigator Lively Deadmarsh and his psychic twin sister have been brought in to solve this decades-old mystery once and for all.

Their shattered town rebuilt, the residents of Lawless, BC, are once again ready to get on with their lives, the terrors from the past now behind them. A winter solstice festival is planned to celebrate both the holidays and the townspeople's determination to get things done.

In this tale, you will meet Mr. Caleb Cantrill, a gentleman who has found something very interesting in the ground, and though he doesn't know it yet, he is about to have a very, very bad day. Set in the wilds of the Cascade mountains of Western Canada in 1895, this introductory tale from Claw: Emergence is the first in a series which will form a rich tapestry of discovery, betrayal, and insatiable hunger, all delivered with small-town Canadian flair.

Katie Berry continues the interwoven saga of Lively and Minerva Deadmarsh and Chief Inspector John Harder in this second book in the Lively Deadmarsh series.

Katie Berry, award-winning author of CLAW: A Canadian Thriller would like you to meet Kitty Welch, a working girl who never thought her day would end this way: On the run, and on the dinner menu. When an appointment with a client goes awry, working girl Kitty finds her day becoming much, much more than she ever bargained for, leading her on a wild adventure of greed, obsession, and a date with destiny. Now, all she has to do is survive....

In this thrilling conclusion to the CLAW Emergence trilogy, Caleb Cantrill, Doc Brown, Sandy, and the rest of the town must now battle the trinity of horrors that have claimed the peaceful mountain valley. If they fail, not only will the town be wiped from the map, but the entire continent could be overrun with the monstrous blight that has been unleashed. The life of Kitty Welch hangs in the balance, her whereabouts unknown. If human predators don't get to her first, the inhuman ones might just finish the job.

Caleb Cantrill is an Irishman whose luck may have just run out. He has two fortunes in gold and can't remember the location of either. And that's the least of his worries. A gang of blood-thirsty bandits are riding north to claim his first fortune, sovereign gold, which he fled with after a bank job went wrong. His second fortune, an immense gold strike, comes with a monstrous blight attached, one he accidentally unleashed onto a small mountain town nestled in the heart of a remote Canadian valley.

Caleb Cantrill still can't find where he hid the bandit's gold or his cavern of riches. The only thing it seems he can find is more and more of the monstrous blight he unleashed on the peaceful valley he now calls home. Adding to his troubles, his twenty-four-hour reprieve from the gang is up soon, and the bandits will be returning, looking for their gold, or his life is forfeit. Kitty Welch is swept up in a corrupt scheme which may result in her arrest and deportation back to Scotland. Though she wants to flee, there is something keeping her in the valley.

The Sinclair Resort Hotel has many secrets. Some, it wants to share, and others it wants to keep buried deep. Lively and Minerva have discovered that they are connected to the hotel in more ways than one and that their involvement in the disappearance is more significant than they could have ever believed. John Harder and Amanda Jansen continue their investigation and find that things once thought buried beneath decades of sin and obscured by a century of corruption now have new life. Each must put aside their fears and doubts if they want to have any hope of solving the mystery.
