What do gorgons, basilisks, and frogs with feathers all have in common?
They're all considered mythological by modern science, and some people
are working very hard to keep them that way. Alexander Price is a member
of a cryptozoological lineage that spans generations, and it's his job
to act as a buffer between the human and cryptid worlds--not an easy
task when you're dealing with women who have snakes in place of hair,
little girls who may actually be cobras, and brilliant, beautiful
Australian zookeepers. And then there's the matter of the murders....
Alex thought he was choosing the easier career when he decided to
specialize in non-urban cryptids, leaving the cities to his little
sister, Verity. It turns out that he had no idea what he was getting
himself into. It's a family affair, and everyone--from his reanimated
grandfather to his slightly broken telepathic cousin--is going to get
involved before things get any better.
