Murder by Rougarou by Jim Riley

When an eviscerated body is discovered in the swamp, the residents of Morgan City - including the Mayor - blame the Rougarou.

A swamp creature similar to Yeti or Bigfoot, the Rougarou is also known as the Werewolf of Louisiana, and Hawk - who's patrolled the basin all his life - has never seen one.

With the eyes of the whole nation on the case, Hawk and Kristi must work through the political haze and find the killer. It seems like everyone has lost their common sense. But is the killer a creature of myth, or a man with evil intent?
