Soon thereafter, an e-mail arrives to the department, in it, a link to a video of one of the killers being executed in a homemade electric chair, ending with a voice announcing, "That’s one." The video spreads across the internet, drawing the attention of local, state, and federal authorities and national media, and putting pressure on the two cops to find the vigilante before he claims his second victim. Assigned to head the search, Cam finds himself resented by some of his fellow officers and threatened by others. His job is further complicated by the fact that the judge is his ex-wife. His questions lead him to a remote mountain area in western North Carolina and a group of daredevils who call themselves "the cat dancers"-because they have tracked the last wild mountain lions in the area to their dens, where they have photographed the animals, or died trying. Cam must hunt this group and the cats they seek, or become their next target.[16][17]

Called upon by a friend, ex-cop Cam Richter agrees to do a favor: investigate the assault of a young woman in a remote area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He knows the hills and hollers of the park, and his outdoor skills might break a case that local cops can’t-or maybe don’t want to-solve. He has no idea how dangerous his search will become, because in this part of Appalachia, matriarch Grinny Creigh and her extended family get rid of those who intrude. The Creighs control the crystal meth trade and own just about everything and everyone in their neck of the woods. But they also operate an enterprise, a dark secret that terrifies any children unfortunate enough to come within their grasp. Blocked by a menacing sheriff with ties to the family, Cam is shut down and sent away, none-the-wiser about why the young woman was attacked or what she saw. He returns, stealthily stalking the Creighs and their secrets, moving ever closer to Grinny’s mountain house and what it might conceal, not knowing that he has been detected, and that the Creighs are hunting him with creatures bred for that purpose and starved into relentless fury.[18][19]

As the FBI, local police, and the plant’s own security investigate, ex-cop Cam Richter, head of the agency that employed the dead woman, begins his own inquiries. He soon finds himself up against powerful forces that will stop at nothing to keep the plant’s problems secret. The most vulnerable part of the plant is its "moonpool"—the radioactive storage pond that cools spent, yet still volatile reactor fuel rods and must be kept full.
