With the death of Jin Ke, the Council is sending a delegate to investigate both Annabelle and the Pack, and it seems likely that the news won't be good. As if that weren't enough, someone is killing people in Annabelle's territory, and drawing entirely too much attention for her taste. Add in some very personal trouble for Grogan, and things are about to spiral even more out of control than usual. Can Annabelle and the others get out of the mess they're in, and still manage to catch a killer?
