Hidden Fury

There are creatures lurking in our world. Obscure creatures long relegated to myth and legend. They have been sighted by a lucky-or unlucky-few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community.

These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, some from other worlds, and others have always been with us-watching us, fearing us, hunting us.

These are the cryptids, and Systema Paradoxa tells their tales.

Trouble''s brewing in Bowie.

When a decapitated body turns up at a Little Library, there''s more than a story to tell. Special Agent Tiffany Watson of the FBI''s Behavioral Analysis Unit catches the case when the local PD reaches out for assistance.

But all is not as it seems as evidence unbelievably points toward a supernatural culprit. Subterfuge or cold, hard facts? The mystery goes much deeper than two clearly related deaths.

Can Watson solve the case before the body count grows?
