Silent Bones by Jack Hunt

Four are dead. One is missing. And nothing about the scene adds up.

At the height of camping season in the Adirondacks, two hikers stumble upon a blood-soaked campsite: tents torn open from within, drag marks leading into the trees, and four young adults dead. Some found inside the camp, others scattered in the woods, barefoot and broken.
A fifth camper is missing.
There are tracks. There is blood. There are signs of struggle. But to seasoned eyes, something feels wrong. It’s too chaotic, too deliberate, almost as if someone wanted it to look like an animal attack. Local investigator Noah Sutherland is brought in to assist Fish and Game and the park rangers. His task: uncover what really happened that night before rumors spiral and panic grips the region’s busiest season.

Because if what happened wasn’t an animal…
Then something else is out there. And it’s not finished yet.
